Since November 28, 2024, mass protests have been taking place in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets for more than 100 days, demanding that the country return to its European trajectory. The protests began after Georgia's Prime Minister announced the suspension of EU membership negotiations, despite the country being a candidate for EU accession.

For the first week, police forces violently dispersed the demonstrators every night, using water cannons, tear gas, and pepper spray. Over 500 protesters were arrested, with more than 300 suffering severe beatings during their detentions. Many required hospitalization. The Public Defender of Georgia condemned the treatment of the demonstrators, likening it to torture.

Around 50 individuals are currently facing criminal charges, and they have been held in custody for over a month. These protesters, who have been labeled "prisoners of the regime," continue to demand their release.
