Participants in a march in Tbilisi demanded the release of political prisoners.

On the 416th day of daily protests in Tbilisi, protesters marched through the city center demanding the release of prisoners of conscience.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," supporters of Georgia's European integration protested outside the parliament building in Tbilisi for the 415th day in a row. Security forces detained activist Nino Bardzimishvili, who was sentenced to jail for blocking a sidewalk.

A protest march demanding the release of prisoners of conscience took place from the Tbilisi Philharmonic to the parliament.

The marchers unfurled Georgian and EU flags, as well as banners with various messages: "Free speech never dies, it multiplies!"; "416 days without a democratic state in Georgia," InterPressNews reports.

The march ended at the parliament building. Those gathered chanted "Until the end, until the end," the agency writes.

The marchers say that despite the restrictive laws passed by the Georgian Dream, they are not afraid and will fight for justice to the end. "This regime is teaching society that the best part of our society must end up in prison one way or another," TV Pirveli quoted a protester as saying.

Today marks the 416th day of continuous protests on Rustaveli Avenue, Publika reports.

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.
