Four more people will be summoned to court for standing on the sidewalk.
They are Dimitri Jamburia, Giorgi Stepanov, Nika Beridze, and Guga Sulkhanishvili.
All are reportedly accused of blocking the sidewalk near the parliament during the December 17 protest.
Their court hearings are scheduled for December 26.
“I was called by the court. The hearing for standing on the sidewalk is set for 3 p.m. on the 26th. On December 17, I obstructed pedestrian movement on Rustaveli. Fire to the oligarchy!” wrote Dimitri Jamburia.
“Hello, I just got a call saying that on December 17 I blocked pedestrian traffic in front of the parliament, and my court hearing is set for December 26,” wrote Giorgi Stepanov.
“I loved being first at things as a child, so I think I’m the first summoned to court for standing on the sidewalk. On December 17, I obstructed pedestrian movement on Rustaveli. Fire to the oligarchy!” wrote Guga Sulkhanishvili.
On December 23, it became known that activist Ana Akhmeteli was also summoned to court for blocking the sidewalk. Her hearing is scheduled for December 25.
Under a new repressive law passed by Georgian Dream, standing on the sidewalk may lead to administrative detention if the Ministry of Internal Affairs considers it an obstruction of public passage. The law requires activists to notify the Ministry at least five days before a gathering or protest. Authorities can propose an alternative time or location for the demonstration.
Georgian Dream says the stricter law is linked to ongoing protest activities in Tbilisi that have lasted over a year.
