Protesters in Tbilisi supported the students' demands.

For the 434th consecutive day, supporters of Georgia's European integration protested outside the parliament building in Tbilisi. In addition to demanding new elections and the release of political prisoners, they also demanded the repeal of education reform.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on February 3, supporters of Georgia's European integration protested outside the parliament building in Tbilisi for the 433rd consecutive day. A court sentenced two more participants in the December gatherings on Rustaveli Avenue to administrative arrest.

For the 434th day of continuous protests, supporters of Georgia's European integration gathered with flags outside the parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue with their unwavering demands: the release of all political prisoners and new elections. Protesters also expressed solidarity with students protesting new legislative restrictions in education. Participants held signs reading: "On the road to Russia, it's better to have a license than a diploma," "To pass a bill, you need not only ears but also brains," "I do not recognize this government," "Protect education," and "You can't always deceive the entire nation," according to Publika.

The Georgian Parliament accelerated the first reading of amendments to the Law on Higher Education and a package of amendments restricting foreign funding. The adoption of the amendments took place against the backdrop of public and student protests.

This afternoon, a protest took place outside the Georgian Technical University. Faculty and students demonstrated against the merger of Tbilisi State University and the Technical University. Protesters brought posters with protest slogans to the site of the event.

"We need your support. Together we can do more. Together we will continue the history of the Technical University. The minister has effectively closed the university to us," said students and faculty.

Today it also became known that two members of the Ilia State University student movement have been summoned to court in a case of "blocking the sidewalk," Pirveli TV reported.

"Two members of our movement, Anni Pridonashvili and Taso Dolidze, have been summoned to court in the so-called "sidewalk blocking case" on December 17 and 18. According to the unconstitutional "law" passed by the illegitimate parliament, Georgian citizens face up to 15 days in prison for standing on the sidewalk, and in the case of a repeat offense, up to one year in prison in accordance with the Criminal Code. We stand on Rustaveli Avenue and intend to continue to do so. Fight to the end, until victory!" the student movement said in a statement.
