Protesters in Georgia demonstrated in support of democracy.

On the 294th day of protests in Georgia, participants in a daily rally blocked traffic near the Georgian Parliament. They chanted slogans in support of democracy and expressed confidence in the end of the Georgian Dream government.

As reported by the Caucasian Knot, protesters in Tbilisi demanded that those involved in the attack on activists and security forces guilty of torturing detained protesters be held accountable. Opposition members also announced a protest near the Supreme Court.

The protest resumed this evening on Rustaveli Avenue in central Tbilisi. On the 294th day of continuous protests, citizens gathered outside the parliament building and blocked the road. The demonstrators' demands remain unchanged: new elections and the release of those detained during the protests, InterPressNews reports.

The protesters brought Georgian and EU flags to the scene. "Glory to democracy, down with the oligarchy!" "This is the end of the Georgian Dream!" — they chant.

A parallel protest took place near the Public Television building, from where citizens marched in protest to Rustaveli Avenue, the agency reports.

Today, due to non-payment of fines, the Tbilisi City Court sentenced activist Konstantin Mikaia to administrative arrest for 10 days. 
The decision was made by Judge Manuchar Tsatsua, Publika reports.

Konstantin Mikaia was accused of a repeat offense for "illegally blocking a road."
