The entire country is engulfed in protests. The Georgian people are fighting against the pro-Russian government, which falsified parliamentary elections and abandoned European integration. In Batumi, opposition members were detained for placing a sticker on a building wall, while in Tbilisi, several people were arrested for disrupting judges at a New Year’s corporate event. All officials of the bloody regime must understand that Georgians will not forgive their betrayal and service in Russia's interests.

On Sunday evening, at pro-European protests in Tbilisi and Batumi, law enforcement detained around 20 more people.

In Tbilisi, events unfolded outside a restaurant where judges were gathered for a Christmas and New Year’s corporate party, and protesters decided to confront them over their “service to the regime.” The venue was guarded by special forces equipped with water cannons, and tensions flared several times. Ultimately, the judges left the restaurant under police protection. Among the activists, nine were detained for "minor hooliganism" and "disobedience to the police."

In Batumi, eight people were detained, including two members of the “For Change” coalition and Guram Murvanidze, a cameraman for the local outlet Batumelebi. The detentions were prompted by a poster calling for a general strike, which Murvanidze had affixed to a wall.

“People were arrested over a sticker, and it didn’t even contain anything offensive, just a call for a strike. Apparently, Georgian Dream is very afraid of a strike—they wouldn’t survive it, and it would destroy their illegitimate power. They are threatening peaceful protests, and we express our solidarity with all detainees,” local media reported.

It’s worth noting that daily protests have been taking place in Tbilisi and other cities across the country. They intensified on November 28, following Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze’s announcement that the country’s European integration would be postponed until at least 2028.
