Pro-European protests in Tbilisi have continued for 504 consecutive days.

Participants in the rally outside the Georgian Parliament, on the 504th day of continuous protests, once again took to Rustaveli Avenue with posters and flags. The activists stated that they would not pay administrative fines despite the blocking of their accounts.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on April 14, participants in the rally outside the Georgian Parliament, on the 503rd day of continuous protests, dedicated their posters to Georgian Language Day, recalling the students' struggle for the state language.

Activists held signs reading: "Freedom for the regime's prisoners," "Those who came from hell, have mercy on the children," "I demand an end to terror," "I demand the punishment of rapists," and "Freedom for the regime's victims," ​​according to posts by photographer Mo Se and Georgian media on Facebook*.

Today, it was announced that the bank accounts of activist Leila Tsomaia have been frozen. Leila Tsomaia, a refugee from Abkhazia, is an active participant in the ongoing civil protest. As she herself says, she is a pensioner and socially vulnerable, Pirveli TV reported.

"I've been receiving fine notifications for a whole month. I've appealed several of them, and the appeal process is still ongoing. We haven't been informed about the appeals procedure. Now my accounts have been frozen. The government replenishes the budget by freezing the accounts of poor patriots. They know I'm socially vulnerable. The fines amount to about 60,000 lari (approximately $21,000). I'm not the type to start collecting money. Fine me, fine me, but I won't pay," Leila Tsomaia declared at the rally.

Several months ago, Leila Tsomaia was also detained for an administrative offense. Over the past week, bank accounts of family members of regime prisoners, journalists, and civil society activists have been frozen, the television station reports.

Protesters in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. Security forces have violently dispersed the protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and have detained protesters. Thousands of people have been subjected to administrative prosecution during the protests. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report, "Key Points to the Persecution of Protesters in Georgia".
