Protesters in Tbilisi marked the 500th consecutive day of anti-government demonstrations on Saturday, April 11, with a massive march to the Georgian parliament ahead of Orthodox Easter services.
Gathering initially at the city’s Philharmonic building, participants marched through the capital carrying Georgian and EU flags. The milestone event culminated at the parliament building, where demonstrators joined an ongoing sit-in to reiterate demands for new parliamentary elections and the release of what they term “prisoners of conscience.”
