Thousands in Georgia join human chains in anti-government protests

Thousands of Georgians formed human chains across the country in support of European Union membership during pro-Europe rallies that have lasted two months.
Mass protests began on November 28, after the ruling Georgian Dream party announced it would not pursue EU accession talks until 2028.
The Interior Ministry reported over 400 arrests, with accusations of torture from Ombudsman Levan Ioseliani and Amnesty International.
The government's actions have led to international condemnation, including visa bans on Georgian Dream officials from the United States and several European countries.
