Participants of three marches united for a protest outside the Georgian Parliament.
The demands of the participants in the weekly march to the Georgian Parliament on the 444th day of daily protests were supported by students protesting against education reforms and participants in the rally at the Iranian Embassy.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on the 443rd day of continuous protests in Tbilisi, students and faculty from Ilia University held a new protest against education reforms and announced a mass rally.
The protesters at the Georgian Parliament were joined by participants from three marches. Initially, some of the marchers gathered at the Iranian Embassy in Georgia in support of the Iranian people, from where they marched to Ilia State University, where students were holding a rally against the government's planned education reforms. They later moved to the Tbilisi Philharmonic building, from where they, along with participants of the traditional Saturday march, moved to the legislative building.
The demands of the protesters outside the Georgian Parliament remain unchanged: new parliamentary elections and the release of all those detained during the ongoing protest, InterPressNews reports.
The Tbilisi Life Telegram channel published a video of the march along Rustaveli Avenue. According to the recording, the protesters occupied half the road, holding posters and Georgian and EU flags.
Uninterrupted protests in Tbilisi have continued for 444 consecutive days, according to Publika.
Protesters in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. Security forces violently dispersed the protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and detained protesters. During the protests, more than 1,000 people were subjected to administrative prosecution. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report "Key Points to the Persecution of Protest Participants in Georgia".
