1. The turnout at the slated protests is likely to range in the low-to-mid hundreds, based on precedent in the previous protests and the persisting anti-GD sentiment in the country. As a precaution, authorities will heighten security measures in the vicinity of the City Court, Parliament, Republic Square, and other protest sites. The authorities are likely to deploy riot police and install barricades to monitor protest proceedings and to manage crowds. 
2. There remains a high risk of clashes between the police and the protesters, based on the authorities’ perceived low tolerance for anti-government demonstrations. The riot police will likely employ forcible dispersal measures, such as deploying water cannons and shelling tear gas, should the protesters resort to disruptive tactics such as releasing fireworks and breaching security protocols. Significant travel disruptions are anticipated in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations due to the expected turnout and related security measures on January 11.    

Those operating or residing in Tbilisi on January 11 are advised to avoid the vicinity of the aforementioned locations due to the slated protests and related high risk of clashes while allotting for travel disruptions.
