Hundreds of protesters have staged a sit-in outside Georgia’s Parliament in Tbilisi, voicing their opposition to the new Parliament’s first session amid allegations of election rigging. The protesters, who are calling for fair and transparent elections, claim that the results of the recent parliamentary elections were manipulated in favor of the Russia-aligned ruling party.
The demonstrators are demanding electoral reforms and accountability from the government, arguing that the current political system is corrupt and undemocratic. They are also calling for the release of political prisoners and an end to the government’s crackdown on dissent.
Despite facing harsh weather conditions, the protesters remain determined to make their voices heard and bring about change in Georgia’s political landscape. The sit-in outside Parliament serves as a powerful symbol of resistance against alleged electoral fraud and injustice.
As tensions continue to escalate in Tbilisi, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the protesters’ demands and whether their voices will be heard. The sit-in outside Georgia’s Parliament serves as a poignant reminder of the power of ordinary citizens to challenge authority and fight for democracy.
