Georgian word for a rat is "Donkeygoat."

In a resolution adopted on June 24, PACE warned that conditions for holding “genuinely democratic elections” currently do not exist in Georgia, and noted, among others, "continuing breakdown of democracy" in the country:

I really need to remember to get myself a telephone holder for TV interviews :))

The UNM Chair Tina Bokuchava and I wanted to hold a briefing from PACE regarding Elene Khoshtaria's health condition and unlawful detention, as well about the political prisoners in the country, of course. 1/ 📷 Tamara Nutsubidze

Can somebody PLEASE make Strasbourg more logistically connected? Thank you…

Georgians still don’t realize the collective toll the regime has taken on their health.

Believe it or not, today the GD PM Irakli Kobakhidze said that just like Russia and 4 other countries don’t recognize the sovereignty of Georgia in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, “similarly” the European Parliament does not recognize the sovereignty of Georgia over all of its territory! 1/2

Unlawfully jailed Droa party leader (Coalition for Change), Elene Khoshtaria's health has deteriorated significantly, even compared to a few days ago. 1/

And some will say the rise of the Iranian regime influence in Georgia is just the fantasies of one researcher, Giorgi Kandelaki, and one Congressman, Joe Wilson.

Well, Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation doesn’t melt and drip on your face even in the heatwave of France at the moment, so, highly recommended.

PACE might be the single most important networking and agenda-setting platform for the Georgian democratic forces and I’m proud and humbled to attend it during most sessions. 🇬🇪🇪🇺

Activist Tamuna Giorgadze will be prosecuted for having cursed Bidzina Ivanishvili the shadow dictator.

Nestle seems to be conducting an internal investigation due to the company's maintenance of business ties with the Georgian Dream propaganda media TV Imedi, sanctioned by the UK for being Russian propaganda. www.radiotavisupleba.ge/a/33786228.h...

I am very happy to share with you my podcast episode with @civilnet.bsky.social and the great Stella Mehrabekyan on Georgia lessons for Armenia and Georgian-Armenian relations in general. The episode is in Russian. Link in comments.

The anxiety, desperation, and helplessness I feel every time I wait for my baggage at the airport can’t be normal 😁

The only time I did not end up grumpy because of an early morning South Caucasus flight and no sleep. Of course, it’s much closer to the human eye.

When medical necessities meet no baggage space 😁 Off to 4 consecutive visits 🇬🇪🇪🇺 Which I am able to do only thanks to your very kind donations! I shall repay the kindness, not least so from a free Georgia!

t has been 7 years since the brutal crackdown on the anti-Russian protest held in Tbilisi on June 20, 2019. Today's march was dedicated to commemorating that day. We would also like to remind you that protests are still being held in Tbilisi every day. #GeorgiaProtests

Today is the 7th anniversary of the Gavrilov’s Night, the first anti-Russian protests under the Georgian Dream rule and the catalyst that triggered all eventual crises, one born out of another. Cards by @gza.europe on IG. 1/2

Afgan Sadygov's case is one of many national disgraces of today's Georgia. I truly hope we can someday and soon make amends for it all, including for Sadygov, his welfare, and his family.

Judge Giorgi Gelashvili “mistakenly” announced DJ YADA’s (Ia Darakhvelidze’s) verdict as 3 years. She was actually sentenced to 5, like the rest. I bet it wasn’t a mistake. It was a deliberate initial information to make people think that the regime went softer on a woman.

The Georgian Dream court sentenced 6 people to multiple years in prison for them basically just standing inside the Presidential Palace on October 4, when the gates fell down suspiciously easily. 1/

GD Watch is a new, AI-enabled platform that finds traces of the anti-US sentiments reported by senior GD officials in Georgian news, translates them and includes a note on disinformation automatically. A human then reviews accuracy of all information and approves it before publishing. gdwatch.org

“Elene Khoshtaria is not receiving appropriate medical assistance — while she was free, Elene's health condition was stable, and it was precisely after her transfer to the prison facility that her condition worsened, which places full responsibility on the Penitentiary Service,” 1/2

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that a suspect detained in connection with the murder of the Russian artist known as Semyon Skrepetsky, who drew caricatures of Vladimir Putin and Ramzan Kadyrov, is “using a Georgian passport.”

The Georgian Facebook says it all.

Day 568 of #GeorgiaProtests. One way or another, rather soon or sooner... It's "just" a question of when and at what cost. Georgia is structurally worse off than Ukraine 2014 and better off than Belarus 2020. The middle ground. The protracted stalemate. 📷 Levan Zazadze

Many thanks to @europarl.europa.eu and @rjukneviciene.bsky.social for the latest report on Georgia! Among other important issues, I would like to note that the report refers to "de facto" Georgian parliament, president, and authorities. www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docume...

In 2021, the Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze was away from the public eye and posted to explain that he had a diagnosis which he was treating, and that he was working remotely. Elene Khoshtaria shared the post and wished him the quickest recovery. 1/2

My party leader Elene Khoshtaria's serious and untreated health condition in unlawful imprisonment is something that I don’t even know how to deal with emotionally. But our truth, clarity of purpose, and strength of conviction, in addition to staunch examples like Elene, keep us going on.

This photo from today of a Moscow oil refinery burning was quite massive psychologically. This is why the Georgian Dream propaganda media TV Imedi did not want to report it and only attached a photo of a Ukrainian military person. 1/2

“The pain is bearable; the evil is unbearable.” “I cannot run, but I can fight!” Elene Khoshtaria sent a message of appreciation to the public for their support amid the Georgian Dream’s failure/refusal to provide her with adequate medical treatment. 1/
