Shalva Papuashvili is the worst. His statements are the heaviest and truly extreme.

1/ The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia summoned the German Ambassador, Peter Fischer, for a meeting held on 24 September.

I wrote an article about Nino Datashvili, a teacher and protest participant unlawfully imprisoned by GD. While her story is familiar to Georgians, I wanted to bring the information together for international readers interested in developments in Georgia. statesofmatter.substack.com/p/nino-datas...

The article is very interesting. It breaks my heart that it starts with the fact that Georgia has lagged behind because of GD, but unfortunately, that is the terrible truth. agora.md/2025/09/16/c...

Citizens gathered today at Kakha Kaladze’s election headquarters, where his supporters had attacked protesters yesterday. ‘Russians, Russians,’ ‘Who is Kaladze? – A murderer,’ they chant. #GeorgianProtests Day 286

The so-called Georgian Dream government is not a police regime; it is a criminal gang that directly controls the country. The police serve only one purpose: to protect this gang.

I wrote a news article summarizing Tsulukiani's report on the 2008 war and how the occupied regime of Tskhinvali reacted to it.

A few days before his arrest, Givi Targamadze said on Formula that Georgian Dream is not a national government, which is bad. It is a Russian government directly installed by the FSB. That’s right.

If there were no Russia I would say so. Because, of course, Putin is evil. But Russia is Russia with or without him - imperialist and terrible.

GD moved to using psychiatry to punish people.

We are so done! F off, GD.

Georgian Dream has abandoned 23 y/o Mamuka, because they are Russians themselves. Can anyone else help him?

It's terrifying, tiring and stressful to live like this. #TerrorinGeorgia

Israeli forces have killed at least 51 people and wounded more than 200 in the latest massacre of Palestinians waiting for desperately needed humanitarian aid in Gaza, according to the territory's health ministry. http://jrnl.ie/6735144

"Let the rotten Russian empire fall" — Protesters burn Russian flag. The Video. #GeorgiaProtests Day 200

"Let the rotten Russian empire fall" — Day 200 of continuous protests in Georgia — Protesters burn Russian flag. #GeorgiaProtests

🧵Even with cameras, press badges & footage proving they were working, journalists are being fined for “artificially blocking roads.” Reporters from Publika, OC Media, Aprili Media & others face penalties just for covering protests, while courts & police reject all appeals. 1/

“Glory to Georgia, f*ck Russia” — the musical group Loudspeakers at the Tbilisi Open Air festival Yesterday, on May 25. 📸 Anna Vakhtangadze

Loved the performance.

Reporting and journalism are becoming crimes in Georgia.

Zurab Jafaridze, leader of “Girchi-More Freedom”, was arrested in the courtroom for failing to pay bail after skipping a session of the GD-led parliamentary commission. The commission, chaired by Tea Tsulukiani, is tasked with “investigating the crimes of UNM.”

"An enemy of one's own nation will not go unpunished" — 136th day of non-stop protest in Tbilisi. #GeorgiaProtests

By the end of 2025, there may be no independent media or NGOs left in Georgia—only propaganda outlets and GONGOs.

#GeorgiaProtests Day 110

Maybe it's not much, and I've really envied Serbians these past few days, but GD is getting upset even over this. So, it's still something.

1/ The Trump administration's decision to sign the abolishment of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is a disaster for the press. It has eliminated Voice of America and threatens to do the same to Radio Liberty.

Journalist Gela Mtivlishvili reports that an armed member of the MIA special forces attacked him on the highway. "They are behind us in a traffic jam. We are trying to get to a safe place," says Mtivlishvili, adding that he will release the video once he is safe.

GD is intensifying repressions against the media and NGOs.

It's more than 3 years since Russia invaded Ukraine and Europe is now starting to think about rearming because "it's important to prepare for the worst". Eastern Europe has been warning you since 2008, but whatever. Better late than later.

Slava Ukraini! Trump and his administration will never understand what it means to fight for freedom or to be ready to die for their country.

🚨 The ECHR has issued an interim measure prohibiting Georgia from extraditing exiled Azerbaijani journalist and editor Afgan Sadigov to Azerbaijan. In light of this important court decision, Afgan Sadigov has ended his 161-day hunger strike.

It’s been seven years, and my heart breaks every time I think about him. A decent, patriotic Georgian who refused to kneel before the Russians. I visited his village after his body was handed over. It was devastating. #RussiaIsATerroristState

1/ Former Defense Minister Irakli Alasania told RFE/RL that in 2014, GD demanded that an agreement with 🇫🇷 not be signed, under which France would sell 🇬🇪 an air defense system in exchange for Georgia’s participation in a peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic.

Journalists in Georgia are being fined en masse—5,000 GEL (≈$1,800) each—for allegedly blocking roads while covering protests. So far, up to 10 journalists have been fined. One of them is Publika journalist Basti Mgaloblishvili. #TerrorinGeorgia

This will be an article that allows for broad interpretations. Anyone who dislikes GD or takes actions they deem unacceptable will be punished under it. #TerrorinGeorgia

Stop the terror!

Even the protesters blocking Rustaveli for 3 hours a day is unacceptable to GD. 75 days of continuous protest is no small amount. The Ivanishvili regime must fall. No justice, No peace. Burn the Oligarchy.

I have no idea how to survive GD.

People are simply being detained for no reason. Terror!

Yes, this is a direct threat.

I made that card myself. Soon GD will start hunting down those who write news, seizing our phones and computers. #TerrorinGeorgia

GD hates that people protest, can't stand the fact that the resistance doesn't stop, and is trying to intensify repressions. They don't realize that by doing so, they are angering even more people and contributing to the escalation of the protests.

A protest and solidarity march were held in Batumi in support of people unjustly arrested, fined, and imprisoned for participating in pro-European rallies. #GeorgiaProtests Day 65

Protesters blocked Kostava Avenue. #GeorgiaProtests Day 60

Irakli Kobakhidze attended an event at the Lokomotivi Stadium, while journalists simultaneously protested Mzia Amaghlobeli’s imprisonment. He left the event amid protest chants. The journalist is imprisoned and has been on a hunger strike for 18 days. #terrorinGeorgia

Journalist Mzia Amaghlobeli, has been on a hunger strike for 17 days. Her life is in danger. She slapped the head of the Batumi police, Irakli Dgebuadze, which was classified as an assault on a police officer. She has been detained under the Criminal Code and faces 4 to 7 years in prison.

Sunday night on Rustaveli, protest right now. #Tbilisi #Georgia

I love chants and slogans from the #GeorgiaProtests: "Police everywhere, justice nowhere" "Unjust court, fear the people's power" "Listen to the voice of the people, the people demand justice" "Fire to oligarchy" Illustration by Anna Vakhtangadze
