Under the slogan "The Power of Students is in Unity," students from higher educational institutions are holding a protest march.

The protest march began from the "Free University" campus, founded by Kaha Bendukidze, and the students are heading toward "Tbilisi Mall," where another protest is ongoing.

Goga Memanishvili, the Deputy Head of the Main Department of the Patrol Police, told the protesters not to block the road. According to the participants of the march, they will use the underground pedestrian crossing.

A large police force is deployed in the surrounding area. In conversations with journalists, they mentioned that they are ensuring public order.

For your information, protestors are gathering near "Tbilisi Mall," demanding new elections and the release of those detained during previous protests. Opposition politicians are also present at the demonstration. Police officers are stationed in the area, and law enforcement is deployed along the perimeter of the highway. Protesters are chanting: "Fire to the Oligarchy; No Justice, No Peace."

The protesters plan to move to the Georgian Parliament building later, where protests have been ongoing for over two months.
