Police blocked the road for protesters in Tbilisi.

On the 352nd day of continuous protests, security forces blocked Tabukashvili Street, preventing supporters of Georgia's European integration from continuing their march to the parliament building.

As "Caucasian Knot" reported, on November 13, the 351st day of continuous demonstrations, supporters of Georgia's European integration held a march along small streets in central Tbilisi, and police tried to prevent them from crossing the road at zebra crossings. Since security forces have been preventing protesters from entering the roadway on Rustaveli Avenue in front of the parliament, activists have been holding daily marches along streets of the capital where there have been no protests before.

Today, on the 352nd day of continuous protests, thousands of people gathered outside the Georgian parliament building, demanding the country return to the path of European integration, hold new parliamentary elections, and release those arrested for participating in the demonstrations. Since police prevented protesters from reaching Rustaveli Avenue, they have been marching through the streets of Tbilisi without announcing their route in advance – "so the police don't think they can control anything," JAMnews reported.

Police were mobilized on Rustaveli Avenue before the protests began, setting up cordons on both sides of the road. Protesters, as usual, carried Georgian and EU flags, and during the march, they chanted, "Down with Ivanishvili's tyranny!" and "Police everywhere, justice nowhere!" Interpressnews reports.

From the parliament building, protesters first headed toward the Rustaveli metro station. Later, when they reached Tabukashvili Street, police cordoned it off and prohibited the demonstrators from moving forward, Publika reported.

"The march from the parliament building headed toward the Rustaveli metro station, then passed through Akhvlediani to Republic Square, and then along Tabukashvili Street back toward the parliament. But on Tabukashvili Street, they were ambushed by police officers who decided to block that particular street," Tbilisi_life summarizes.

School and university teachers announced a protest for Saturday, November 15, against the education reform, which, in their opinion, "is destroying the European future." The protest is scheduled for 4:00 PM local time at the Vaso Abashidze Theater.

“We oppose bills that deprive teachers of freedom, autonomy, and professional dignity. We say ‘no’ to the brutal laws of dictatorship and control, and to a system built on fear and obedience among teachers. The so-called ‘education reform’ is aimed solely at eliminating European perspectives and at total control over the university and school space,” the teachers’ statement reads.

Protesters in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. Security forces have violently dispersed the protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and detained protesters. Over the course of the protests, more than a thousand people have been subjected to administrative prosecution. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report "The Main Thing About the Persecution of Protest Participants in Georgia".
