Protesters outside the Georgian parliament blocked traffic for the 341st day in a row.

Demonstrators in Tbilisi managed to symbolically block traffic on Rustaveli Avenue for a short time; after the protest, security forces detained some of its participants.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on November 2, protesters blocked traffic on Rustaveli Avenue for the 340th day in a row. Twenty minutes after Rustaveli Avenue was blocked, security forces pushed the demonstrators off the roadway.

Those who gathered outside the parliament building today, on the 341st day of continuous protests, managed to temporarily block traffic on Rustaveli Avenue. Activists formed a human chain on the roadway, after which police called on them to disperse.

Protesters, who consistently come to parliament demanding new elections and the release of political prisoners, chanted, "We will not have justice, we will not have peace," and "For truth until the end, for the Motherland until the end," Interpressnews reports.

Police later reopened Rustaveli Avenue, and the demonstrators continued their protest on the sidewalk.

“Police are now sending one or two officers to film those blocking the road. Considering the dozens of cameras on the avenue and a drone overhead, photo and video footage is still insufficient,” Tbilisi Life notes.

After the protest, security forces detained several protesters near the metro station, including two women, Anuka Gamsakhurdia and Nana Japaridze. According to preliminary reports, they are charged with blocking a road.

Leila Tsomaia and Irakli Kalandadze, who served a four-day administrative arrest for participating in the protests at the end of October, have also been detained, Publika reports.

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. Over the course of the protests, more than a thousand people were subjected to administrative prosecution.
