On August 14, on the 260th day of continuous protests, activists in Tbilisi held a march in support of the convicted founder of "Batumelebi" and "Netgazeti" Mzia Amaglobeli.

Pro-European protesters in Tbilisi blocked Rustaveli Avenue near the parliament building again this evening. This is the 261st day of continuous protests demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of all arrested protesters, Publika reports.

Protesters with Ukrainian flags arrived at the parliament: the previously announced action of solidarity with Ukraine began at the Taras Shevchenko monument, then the activists arrived at Rustaveli Avenue near the parliament, NEWS.On.ge writes.

The march in support of Ukraine in Tbilisi was timed to coincide with the meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska. During these negotiations, the US President intends to persuade Putin to a peaceful settlement of the conflict with Ukraine.

“The Georgian and Ukrainian peoples are fighting for freedom, independence, a European and protected future, for the salvation of their national identity. Solidarity with the fighters for freedom and justice! Victory to Ukraine!” - quotes the call of the organizers of the march "Georgia Online".
