Six people convicted in connection with the events of October 4, 2025, in Tbilisi have been set free following the conclusion of plea agreements with the prosecutor's office. This was reported on October 16 by the television channel TV Pirveli.

Misho Tolordava, David Giunashvili, Gia Tolordava, Yuri Lomidze, Giorgi Talakhadze, and Kakha Kvachantiradze were released from Gldani Prison. Upon his release, the latter told journalists that he believes it is essential to push for democratic change in the country.

"I won't say anything new; the whole country knows what kind of government we have. To put it briefly—philosophically, if you will—being a 'Kotsi' [a supporter of the ruling 'Georgian Dream' party] is shameful; it truly is shameful. I wish freedom for all political prisoners—and not just political prisoners, but for all patriots and decent people," Kvachantiradze stated.

He added that "sometimes a tactical retreat is necessary to achieve a strategic goal"—which, for the activist, is "an independent, democratic Georgia."

On June 24, a court found all 13 defendants in the fourth of five separate segments of the case regarding the storming of the presidential palace in Tbilisi guilty. Eleven of them, including Kvachantiradze, were sentenced to one year of actual imprisonment followed by a three-year suspended sentence. By pleading guilty, they were able to enter into plea agreements with the prosecutor's office, which allowed for their release from prison after several months.

Another defendant also reached a plea agreement but remains in custody due to a separate case; consequently, he was sentenced to one and a half years of imprisonment. A defendant who rejected a plea deal was sentenced to five years in prison.

The protests that led to the criminal case took place in Tbilisi on October 4, 2025—the day of the municipal elections. Participants in the demonstration, which the opposition referred to as a "National Assembly," declared an end to the incumbent authorities' mandate and the beginning of a peaceful transitional period.

Later, some of the protesters headed toward the Orbeliani Presidential Residence. They knocked down a barrier and attempted to enter the grounds, at which point the demonstration was dispersed by special forces. Subsequently, the organizers and participants of the rally were arrested and sentenced to prison terms.
