Participants in the Tbilisi march performed a handcuffed performance.
On the 363rd day of protests in Tbilisi, protesters handcuffed themselves to each other to prevent police from detaining individual demonstrators. Isako Devidze, a hunger striker outside parliament, was detained on Rustaveli Avenue.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," over the past six days, police have detained participants in daily protest marches in Tbilisi. On November 24, the 362nd day of continuous protests, at least eight participants in the protest march were detained.
Security forces have prevented pro-European protesters from blocking traffic on Rustaveli Avenue since November 6, by forming a human wall of police officers along the roadway near the Georgian Parliament. Until November 6, 2025, demonstrators blocked traffic on Rustaveli Avenue for 343 consecutive days. Since security forces prevented protesters from entering the roadway, activists have been holding daily marches.
Citizens who gathered on Rustaveli Avenue this evening again marched through central Tbilisi – they walked from the Parliament building to the Government Administration, after which they returned to the Parliament building and continued their rally there.
Before the march began, some protesters handcuffed themselves, declaring that if police detain them, they would have to detain "everyone at once." During the march, activists chanted "Freedom for the regime's prisoners!" and "Police everywhere, justice nowhere!" Interpressnews reports.
Unlike previous days, police did not escort the march along the sidewalks—only a few patrol cars followed the demonstrators from Rustaveli Avenue.
At the government administration building, protesters removed their handcuffs and threw them on the ground. "Just as we put these shackles on during the performance, we are throwing them to those who belong in prison instead of prisoners of conscience. This is yours, use it," Tbilisi_life quotes the protesters as saying.
Opposition members have announced a large-scale rally outside parliament on November 26. According to protesters, they will gather on Rustaveli Avenue at 11:00 a.m. local time to meet Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.
During the rally, activist Isako Devidze, who has been on a hunger strike outside parliament since November 19, was detained. At the time of his arrest, the activist was standing on the elevated "green island" outside parliament. Security forces demanded that he come down, but Devidze refused. As a result, the activist was charged with disobeying police, Publika reports.
