Special forces again disperse pro-European rally, arrest protesters

On November 30, at dawn, riot police dispersed a pro-European demonstration on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi.

A small group of protesters were attacked by riot police at 6:30 a.m., beating and detaining a number of protesters, the number of whom is currently unknown.

Special forces also stormed the Rustaveli Theater, where a small number of protesters were taking shelter.

Citizens are protesting the ruling party, Georgian Dream,’s decision to suspend the EU integration process.

Mass pro-European and anti-government demonstrations began in Tbilisi and other cities in Georgia on November 28. On that day, it was officially announced that the Dream was rejecting EU integration.

On November 28, Irakli Kobakhidze said: “Today we have decided not to put the issue of opening negotiations with the EU on the agenda until the end of 2028. We are also refusing any budget grants from the EU until the end of 2028.”

Kobakhidze’s statement was followed by a spontaneous rally near the Georgian Dream office, which later turned into a demonstration of several thousand people.
On November 28, riot police dispersed a demonstration near the parliament building, and in the early hours of November 29, they brutally beat up a small number of protesters who remained on Rustaveli Avenue.
Despite this, on November 29, citizens gathered again near the parliament, as they did in other cities.
The riot police assaulted a number of journalists and citizens.

TV Pirveli journalist Mariam Gaprindashvili is among the injured, first aided by emergency workers on the spot and then taken to a clinic.

At this stage, it is unknown how many people have been injured in total.
