Supporters of Eurointegration have been protesting in Tbilisi for 699 consecutive days.

Protesters outside the Parliament of Georgia on the 669th day of continuous actions advocated for democratic freedoms.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on October 26, on the 698th day of continuous protests, those gathered in the center of Tbilisi advocated for multipartyism and reminded the "Georgian Dream" of their refusal to recognize the results of the parliamentary elections held two years ago.

Activists with flags of Georgia and the European Union traditionally gathered this evening near the Parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue and at the Tbilisi City Council building, demanding the release of political prisoners and a change in political course. The action is taking place for the 699th consecutive day, notes Publika.

Demonstrators held signs: "Democracy is not afraid of protests, dictators are afraid," "Democracy is not built on bans," "Freedom for Zviad Tsetskhladze," "Glory to freedom!" and "Our ancestors did not fight for Russian slavery," according to a series of photos on the page of photographer Giorgi Mosiashvili (Mo Se) on Facebook*.

One of the signs read: "What about Margarita Simonyan?" and was dedicated to the decision of the Tbilisi City Court to fine journalist Tornike Razmadze for his comment about the Russian propagandist.

Another sign stated: "13 innocent baobabs killed by Bidzina." It became known today that law enforcement agencies in South Africa are investigating a criminal case against an unidentified exporter of baobabs to Georgia due to identified violations. Five trees were prepared for export to Georgia, while the necessary permits were absent, reported the South African Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment.

These five trees were not exported from the country in time, but in 2024, eight baobabs intended for one of Bidzina Ivanishvili's projects, the "Shekvetili" dendropark, had already been exported to Georgia. All these trees, capable of living in their natural environment for up to two thousand years, died in Georgia.

Protesters in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. Security forces conducted harsh dispersals of protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and detained protesters. During the protests, thousands of people faced administrative prosecution. "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report "Main points on the persecution of protest participants in Georgia".
