On Day 385 of continuous #GeorgiaProtests 🇬🇪, we find locals singing a tribute to a stalwart protester, Mariam Pirashvili, who was clearly moved by it. You’d never guess that this is banned now!

Georgian polyphonic song Mravalzhamieri performed on Rustaveli Ave on day 385 of nonstop protests in Georgia—celebrating the birthday of Mariam Pirashvili, a constant presence at the daily rallies, known for walking around with plastic bags and collecting garbage from protesters.
