Several protesters were detained by security forces in Tbilisi.

Supporters of Georgia's European integration held a short march in Tbilisi, demanding the release of political prisoners and new elections. Police obstructed the demonstrators' progress and detained several marchers.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," over the previous two days, police detained participants in the daily protest march in Tbilisi. On November 19, according to the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs, 13 people were detained—as the agency explained, for failing to comply with security forces' demands and insulting police officers. On November 20, police detained several more activists, including sports journalist and lawyer Mikheil Zakareshvili.

Activists who gathered today, on the 359th day of continuous protests, near the Georgian Parliament building marched through the streets of Tbilisi. The march was accompanied by a large number of police officers, who prevented demonstrators from entering the roadway or crossing the street.

Before the march began, they again called on the marchers not to engage in conversations with police or insult them, so that the protest could continue with "minimal losses." They also noted that today's march would be short, after which they headed from the parliament building to Freedom Square, Interpressnews reports.

Just a few minutes after the march began, police detained one of the protesters near the city hall building. The activists asked the police to allow them to cross the street at a pedestrian crossing, but the officers refused. It was later reported that at least two more people had been detained. After completing the march, the activists returned to the parliament building, where the rally continued.

Daily protests also continue in Batumi, where demonstrators are gathering near the Adjara Government House. Activists expressed solidarity with the protesters in Tbilisi. "The protest continues, and we have no intention of stopping. We've been coming here for 359 days now and demand a European future," the newspaper quotes one of the protesters as saying.

At least four people detained in Tbilisi

Police blocked the pedestrian crossing at Freedom Square with a "human chain" to prevent activists from continuing to cross it, after which they detained an elderly man standing on the sidewalk. He demanded an explanation from the police as to why he was being denied passage, Netgazeti reports.

Security forces blocked not only zebra crossings but also the underground pedestrian crossing near the Opera House for protesters. On the sidewalk of Rustaveli Avenue, police detained Tamuna Giorgadze, a regular protester, without explanation. She "spent the entire day at court hearings for those detained on November 19," the Tbilisi_life Telegram channel reported.

"The footage shows a police officer holding her by the neck and throwing her into a police car. Police had previously dropped her on the pavement. Another activist, whom Tamuna was trying to help, was detained along with Tamuna," the publication states.

In addition to Tamuna Giorgadze and another person, activist Gurama Chukhrukidz was detained on Rustaveli Avenue, and Murman Shelia was detained by security forces on Freedom Square, Publika reports.
