Executive Summary

Harsh prison sentences for protesters and impending utility hikes create a highly volatile environment in Tbilisi. Courts jailed multiple opposition figures while the government enacted steep electricity tariff increases. These actions triggered a two-month opposition mobilization campaign that will culminate in massive May rallies. International students must avoid the Parliament area as authorities prepare to forcefully clear protest camps.
