Pro-European protests in Tbilisi have continued for 415 consecutive days.

For the 415th consecutive day, supporters of Georgia's European integration protested outside the parliament building in Tbilisi. Security forces detained activist Nino Bardzimishvili, who was sentenced to jail for blocking a sidewalk.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on January 15, supporters of European integration in Tbilisi gathered outside the parliament building for the 414th consecutive day. The activists declared they were not tired and would stand until their demands were met. Several demonstrators face criminal charges for peacefully protesting on the sidewalk.

Participants in the ongoing protest on Rustaveli Avenue again gathered outside the parliament building this evening, waving the flags of Georgia, the European Union, and the United States. Activists had not planned a march for today, so the protest, with unchanged demands—the release of all political prisoners and new elections—continues on the sidewalk outside the legislative building, Interpressnews reports.

Today marks the 415th day of continuous protests on Rustaveli Avenue, Publika reports.

Protest participant Nino Bardzimishvili, a translator and amateur mountain climber, was arrested in Tbilisi this afternoon. On December 23, a court found her guilty of blocking a sidewalk during the October 29 protest, but Bardzimishvili was not present at the hearing.

The court sentenced the activist in absentia to five days of arrest. After being detained near her home today, she was taken to a temporary detention center in Rustavi, Pirveli TV reported.

Protesters in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. They have been holding daily protests on Rustaveli Avenue. In October 2025, after laws on assemblies and demonstrations were tightened, security forces began mass arrests of protesters on Rustaveli Avenue. Most of them were accused of blocking the avenue and obstructing traffic.
