An activist with a poster about Ivanishvili was detained in Tbilisi on the 607th day of protests.

Police detained Nodar Tsitsriashvili in Freedom Square in Tbilisi, who unfurled a poster about Bidzina Ivanishvili. Participants of the daily action at the parliament also dedicated their posters to the founder of the "Georgian Dream."

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on July 26, the 606th day of protests, police detained ten people in Tbilisi who held posters with offensive inscriptions against Bidzina Ivanishvili. The first to be detained was activist Tornike Toshkua, who spent a year in prison on charges of group violence. Later, Mariam Mekhantsishvili, Ia Melitauri, Nato Bolkvadze, Sandro Sekhnishvili, Lasha Dgebuadze, Vaso Beridze, Marine Nanava, Tornike Tikaridze, and Shako Bagdoshvili were also detained.

Another activist was detained today near the Tbilisi City Hall for a poster with an obscene word dedicated to Bidzina Ivanishvili. Nodar Tsitsriashvili was charged with petty hooliganism (Article 166 of the Administrative Offenses Code), reports Publika.

Activists gathered today at the City Hall in protest against the arrests on July 26. The protesters had posters in different languages and with various content; Tsitsriashvili's poster echoed the content of the poster of the detained Tornike Toshkua. The inscription on it asks to answer "yes" or "no" to the question of whether Bidzina Ivanishvili is an unworthy person (an obscene word is used instead of this definition).

Tsitsriashvili, detained in Freedom Square, told journalists that his action was a way to "not submit to fear." "Insulting Bidzina is not my goal. Bidzina insults himself," Tbilisi_life quotes him as saying.

In the evening, supporters of Georgia's Eurointegration, with national flags and EU flags, traditionally gathered at the parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue. The action demanding the return of the country to the Euro-Atlantic course, the release of political prisoners, the repeal of repressive laws, and free elections has been ongoing for the 607th consecutive day.

Most of the posters on Rustaveli Avenue today were made in response to the question posed by Toshkua: "Yes," "My answer is positive," "Yes, he is," "Yes, yes, and always yes," according to publications by photographer Giorgi Mosiashvili (Mo Se) and Georgian media on Facebook*.

Protesters also held posters saying "Bidzina, go away," "Is Bidzina Bidzina? yes / no," "Is Bidzina a traitor? yes / no," and the ironic "Bidzina - the sun, sweeter than father and mother." Additionally, the demonstrators' posters featured slogans like "Do not destroy what has been built," "Protest is not a crime," "We will always take to the streets until victory," and "The truth is painful only for those who know their guilt."

Activists detained on July 26 are expected to be brought to the Tbilisi City Court on Tuesday, July 28.

Protest participants in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. Law enforcement has conducted harsh dispersals of protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and detaining protesters. During the protests, thousands of people have faced administrative prosecution. "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a reference "Main points on the persecution of protest participants in Georgia".
