The 410th day of protests in Georgia was marked by support for Mzia Amaglobeli.

Protesters in Tbilisi demanded the release of political prisoners, and activists gathered outside the prison where Netgazeti and Batumelebi founder Mzia Amaglobeli is being held called for the journalist's release.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," this afternoon, female politicians held a rally outside the Rustavi prison, demanding the release of Batumelebi and Netgazeti founder and journalist Mzia Amaglobeli.

A protest is taking place on Rustaveli Avenue. Those gathered near the parliament building carry Georgian and European Union flags. They chant, "Down with the Russian regime! Release political prisoners!"

The ongoing protest outside the legislative building has been going on for over a year; today marks the 410th day of protests, InterPressNews reports.

The demonstrators' demands remain unchanged: holding new parliamentary elections and the release of those detained during the protests, the publication states.

An active participant in the pro-European protests stated that the protests are getting on the nerves of the Georgian Dream party.

"If there are fifty protesters on the street, why are they passing laws against us?" "Pirveli TV quoted her as saying," she said.

On the anniversary of Amaglobeli's arrest, her colleagues and supporters gathered outside the Rustavi Women's Correctional Facility in solidarity and sang the Georgian national anthem, Publika reports.

 A rally in solidarity with Mzia was held today near the women's prison in Rustavi, where she is being held. Many held banners reading "Freedom for the regime's prisoners!", "Freedom for Mzia!", and "Fight before it's too late!", JamNews writes.

"We will stand in solidarity with Mzia, we will stand by her until Mzia is freed," Netgazeti quotes protester Lika Zakashvili as saying.

"A year has passed; there shouldn't have been a year." "There is a limit to everything," noted Khatia Jinjikhadze. As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," convicted journalist Mzia Amaglobeli has been denied the opportunity to undergo an examination and receive treatment to preserve her vision. This was reported in late November 2025 by the Georgian Young Lawyers' Association, which called on the head of the Georgian Ministry of Justice and the Ombudsman to intervene in the situation. In early August, a court in Batumi sentenced Mzia Amaglobeli, founder of the publications "Batumelebi" and "Netgazeti," to two years in prison for slapping Batumi Police Chief Irakli Dgebuadze. Amaglobeli's charges were reduced at the final stage of her trial; the original charge carried a sentence of four to seven years in prison. The appellate court upheld the sentence. The defense appealed the decision. Since the journalist's arrest, demands for her release and an investigation into the actions of the police, particularly the Batumi police chief, have been voiced at every mass protest held daily in Georgia since November 2024. The Georgian Young Lawyers' Association called Mzia Amaglobeli's arrest the result of political repression. The NGO called on the prosecutor's office to immediately drop Amaglobeli's case and release her, and on the Special Investigative Service to investigate the journalist's mistreatment following her arrest and to remove Irakli Dgebuadze from his post as Batumi police chief pending the completion of the investigation. Georgian journalists held a rally outside the government administration, demanding the release of Amaglobeli, and activist Revaz Kiknadze, arrested in connection with violence during protests, announced a hunger strike in solidarity with the journalist.

In October 2025, Mzia Amaglobeli received the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, which is the European Union's highest award for human rights.
