Location: Tbilisi, Georgia
Event: The U.S. Embassy has lifted protest-related restrictions on the movements of U.S.-citizen Embassy staff in Tbilisi. While no specific areas are off limits, demonstrations are expected to continue in Tbilisi and other cities around Georgia. U.S.-citizen Embassy Tbilisi staff are still required to avoid all protests, regardless of location. We will update the U.S. citizen public if there are changes to security guidance.
We remind you that large crowds can be unpredictable. Confrontations and violence between event attendees, counter demonstrators, and police can occur with little or no warning. We recommend all U.S. citizens exercise caution around protests and leave the area if you find yourself near a protest. Significant traffic disruptions will likely occur as a result of protests in and around Tbilisi.
Actions to Take:
- Avoid the area.
- Monitor local media for updates.
- Keep a low profile.
- Avoid demonstrations.
- Be aware of your surroundings.
- Review your personal security plans.
