Supporters of Georgia's European integration came out to the parliament building and blocked traffic on Rustaveli Avenue, demanding new elections and the release of political prisoners.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, on July 28, on the 243rd day of continuous protests, a court in Tbilisi fined activist Tamar Kuratishvili, who held a rally near the parliament on the anniversary of "Gavrilov's night" on June 20. The activist intends to appeal this decision.

Since November 28, 2024, protesters in Tbilisi have been holding daily rallies outside the Georgian Parliament and blocking traffic on Rustaveli Avenue, demanding the release of all arrested supporters of European integration and the appointment of new parliamentary elections.

Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi was again blocked this evening by activists with Georgian flags on the 244th day of continuous protests, NEWS.On.ge reports.

The continuous protest of Georgian citizens on Rustaveli Avenue near the parliament building was caused by the decision of the Georgian Dream to stop Georgia's European integration. The protesters are demanding the release of all those arrested for participating in the demonstrations and the holding of new, fair and free parliamentary elections, Publika notes.

The Caucasian Knot has published a report "The Main Thing About the Persecution of Protesters in Georgia". The Caucasian Knot has collected materials about the parliamentary elections and the protests that followed them on the page "Elections in Georgia-2024".
