Opponents of the Georgian Dream party's policies held a protest in Tbilisi for the 483rd day in a row.

Supporters of European integration gathered on Rustaveli Avenue on the 483rd day of continuous protests. Three protesters outside the Georgian Parliament will spend several days in pretrial detention by court order.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on March 24, activists who gathered outside the Georgian Parliament building on the 482nd day of continuous protests defaced Kakha Kaladze's campaign banner with protest slogans, expressing solidarity with Elene Khoshtaria, who was convicted of defacing his campaign poster.

Supporters of Georgia's European integration gathered this evening on the pedestrian section of Rustaveli Avenue near the parliament for the 483rd consecutive day, Netgazeti reports.

Despite the rain in the Georgian capital, protesters came to the rally with national and EU flags; some activists also carried Ukrainian and US flags. Several people carried posters with slogans such as "We still don't recognize you, leave" and "The police must protect the rights and fundamental freedoms of citizens," according to posts by photographer Mo Se and Georgian media on Facebook*.

Tariel Mikatsadze, a miner from Chiatura, addressed the crowd gathered outside the Georgian Parliament.

"The current government has effectively separated the law from the judiciary. The law and justice no longer protect the people," he said.

Today, a new round of arrests for blocking sidewalks was also reported, according to Pirveli TV.

By court order, activist Cesili Butkhuzi will spend three days in pretrial detention. She was not in the courtroom when the decision was announced; she was awaiting the verdict outside the courthouse.

Amiran Urushadze, one of the founders of the "Georgian Sports Fans," will also spend four days in pretrial detention. The reason for his detention is the same: a few minutes' delay on the road in front of parliament after the end of Saturday's march. In court, the activist tried to explain that his purpose in crossing the road was not to disrupt traffic, but Judge Tornike Kapanadze ignored this.

Lasha Katsia, the brother of a former prisoner of conscience, was also arrested today. He was sent to pretrial detention for four days on charges of blocking a road on February 7.

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. Thousands of people were subjected to administrative prosecution during the protests. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report entitled "The Main Thing About the Persecution of Protest Participants in Georgia".
