As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," a march demanding a change in Georgia's political course and the release of protesters took place in Tbilisi on the 514th day of daily protests.

"Freedom for regime prisoners" was the slogan of a rally held in Zugdidi, outside the regional administration building. The main demands of those gathered were the government's resignation, new parliamentary elections, and the release of citizens detained during the protests. Parents of those detained during the protests also participated in the rally, Interpressnews reports. Marizi Kobakhidze, the mother of Tornike Goshadze, who was detained during the protests, noted that the main demand is the resignation of the authorities. "I no longer think about demanding my son's release, because they understand that these guys will not confess to anything and will serve their sentences. Our main demand is the resignation of this government," TV Pirveli quotes her as saying. She said that it was decided to hold similar protests in different regions of Georgia. My son has been in prison for a year and four months. "Until political prisoners are released, I won't stop either," said Nani Tsulaya, Giorgi Mindadze's mother.

According to photos posted on the Facebook page* by photographer Mo Se, the protesters initially marched through the city to the beat of drums, holding flags of Georgia, the European Union, and the United States, portraits of political prisoners, and posters. The march took place during the day, and many of those who attended were with children. The march and rally were accompanied by police.

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. Thousands of people were subjected to administrative prosecution during the protests.
