Participants in the protests in Georgia demanded the release of political prisoners for the 613th consecutive day.

At a rally outside the Parliament of Georgia, those gathered called for a change in the pro-Russian course of the ruling party and demanded the release of all convicted in connection with participation in protests.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the Saturday march in Tbilisi took place under the slogan: "For a safe and strong Georgia", its participants demanded a change in the ruling party's policy and the release of political prisoners. The day before, on July 31, on the 611th day of pro-European actions in Tbilisi, police again detained protest participant Tornike Toshkua for a poster with an obscene word dedicated to the founder of the "Georgian Dream".

On the 613th day of continuous protests, citizens gathered again on Rustaveli Avenue. Participants in the continuous protests in Georgia are protesting against the results of the 2024 parliamentary elections and claim that the results signed by the government of the "Georgian Dream" do not reflect the free will of the voters. Citizens demand a return of the country to the Euro-Atlantic course, the release of political prisoners, the abolition of repressive mechanisms, and the conduct of elections in a free and fair environment, writes Publika.

Those gathered held flags of Georgia, the USA, the EU, Ukraine, as well as posters demanding the release of political prisoners and a change in the direction of the Georgian authorities' policies. One of the girls was wearing a T-shirt with a portrait of the founder of "Batumelebi" and "Netgazeti", Mzia Amaglobeli, according to a photo report by Giorgi Mosiashvili (Mo Se) from the protest action.

Today, protest participant Tornike Toshkua was sentenced to five days of arrest and five days of imprisonment under Article 166 of the Criminal Code of Georgia (petty hooliganism), writes Publika.

Participants in the protests in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. Security forces have conducted harsh dispersals of protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and detained protesters. During the protests, thousands of people have faced administrative prosecution. "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report "Main about the persecution of protest participants in Georgia".
