Thousands Of Demonstrators Trying To Block Highway In Tbilisi Amid Unrest

Thousands of demonstrators try to block a highway near the Tbilisi Mall, but a large number of police forces prevent them, leading to violence and the arrest of a number of protesters, including two opposition leaders. This protest is for the release of political prisoners and against the Georgian government's postponement of European Union accession talks until 2028, for the 67th consecutive day, in Tbilisi, Georgia, on February 2, 2025.
