Public protests in Georgia have been ongoing continuously for one year and four months, following the Georgian Dream government’s decision on November 28, 2025, to suspend the country’s European integration process.
Despite repression against protest participants - including physical attacks, enormous financial fines, asset seizures, dismissals from employment, and even imprisonment for standing on sidewalks - the protests have not stopped; rather, they have transformed. In recent months, alongside daily protests, citizens have been organizing large marches every Saturday evening to express their resistance to growing authoritarianism and democratic backsliding.
The human rights situation in Georgia has been comprehensively reviewed in the 10th periodic report prepared by the Georgian European Orbit, drawing on publicly available sources.
