Protests and police violence in Georgia | 2025

,

For months, tens of thousands of people have been protesting in Georgia. They accuse the government of manipulating the 2024 parliamentary elections and of drawing the country ever closer to Russia. The police and the current ruling party are cracking down hard on the protesters. Hundreds have been arrested. But the protests continue. Ana Subeliani is a human rights activist who hasn’t given up hope. Despite the danger on the streets, she continues to fight. We accompany Ana during the December demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi.
