Protesters in Tbilisi protested against repression.

Participants in a rally on Rustaveli Avenue on the 530th day of continuous protests called on Georgian citizens to rise up against the dictatorship and expressed support for arrested Coalition for Change activist Tata Peradze.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," participants in the rally outside the Georgian Parliament support the demands of parents seeking the purchase of a modern medication for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. On May 10, the 529th day of continuous protests, activists in Tbilisi held a march in support of sick children.

Supporters of Georgia's European integration, carrying national and EU flags, gathered this evening on the pedestrian section of Rustaveli Avenue near the parliament building for the 530th consecutive day.

The activists held signs reading: "Give the children medicine," "Repressions will soon sentence you," "Medicine for the children, collapse of the regime," "Don't be part of evil," and "Rise up against the dictatorship," according to posts by photographer Mo Se and Georgian media on Facebook*.

One of the signs read: "Tata Peradze: for your struggle." Tata Peradze, an activist with the opposition Droa party and the Coalition for Change, was arrested this afternoon for two days on charges of blocking a sidewalk and obstructing traffic. Law enforcement officers detained her at the party's office, Kvirispalitra.ge reports.

The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that Tata Peradze, an activist with the opposition Coalition for Change, was detained on November 2 for blocking Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi.

Parents of children with Duchenne syndrome and their supporters have been protesting for the 22nd night in a row outside the government administration building, Publika reports.

Protesters in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. Security forces violently dispersed the protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and detained protesters. Thousands of people were subjected to administrative prosecution during the protests.
