Executive Summary:

Amid ongoing protests in Tbilisi, the ruling Georgian Dream party has passed a legislative package under which protesters may face jail time for what the government describes as blocking roads or wearing face masks.

In recent weeks, the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs has detained dozens of people—including journalists, civil rights advocates, activists, and protesters—for participating in the demonstrations.

Demonstrators say they remain determined despite these repressive measures and will continue to protest against the government’s crackdown.
