Please share this list of reliable sources about the protests in Georgia, where the majority of the population fights the brutal oppression by the government of "Russian Dream" - a party that follows the Russian playbook and uses the Russian threat to maintain authoritarian power.

The arrested "organizers" of the so-called "overthrow" of the government of Georgia on Saturday have been charged with this, which is punishable with up to 9 years prison. In fact, this was a futile act, but the Georgian authorities won't let that pass to set the tone of what's to come.
