Pro-European protests in Tbilisi continue for 257 days in a row

Films about the August war are being shown at protests in Tbilisi and Batumi. Activists have blocked traffic on Rustaveli Avenue near the parliament building.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" reported, participants in pro-European protests in Tbilisi blocked traffic on Rustaveli Avenue for the 256th day in a row on August 10. On the same day, refugees from Abkhazia, evicted from a dilapidated building on Tvalchrelidze Street, came out to protest.

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

Rustaveli Avenue was blocked again this evening, this is the 257th day of continuous protests, NEWS.On.ge reports.

Georgian citizens who take to Rustaveli Avenue every day have made unchanging demands - to hold new parliamentary elections and release all those detained for participating in the protests, Publika notes.

Daily protests in Tbilisi and Batumi today, as in recent days, show films about the August 2008 war, Tbilisi_life reports.

The Russian military operation "to force peace", which went down in history as the "Five-Day War", was carried out in August 2008 on the territory of Georgia, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. After the Five-Day War, Russia and some other countries recognized the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Georgia has since considered these territories occupied by Russia and has terminated diplomatic relations with Russia, according to a "Caucasian Knot" report on the Five-Day War of 2008.
