Instant karma to this regime policeman at #GeorgiaProtests. 📷 @laszlorobertmezes.bsky.social

In Georgia, it’s either a democracy, or an inherently anti-American, anti-European autocracy. That is because 🇬🇪 doesn't have resources for a self-sufficient dictatorship and must always rely on Russia/China/other dictatorships. Thus, an autocracy in 🇬🇪 is a geopolitical problem for the West. 1/2

15-year-old Andria Khomasuridze was arrested now in Tbilisi. Protesters spread out on various streets. The arrest happened on Leonidze, near Freedom Square. So, the elderly and the teenagers… #GeorgiaProtests Day 344 📷 MOSE

Day 344 of #GeorgiaProtests The regime police didn't allow people to close the road, which people have been doing despite mass arrests, as a symbol of persistence. I see Grandma Nino being pushed off the road. She’s 80+ and protests every day. #TerrorinGeorgia 📷 MOSE

BREAKING ‼️ Virtually all democratic leaders in Georgia are now prosecuted over "sabotaging the state." 1/

"I didn't give birth to 9 children for them to live in Russia." - Rusiko Kobakhidze, Soviet crimes researcher, historian, professor. Consciously risked jail for protesting and was detained this evening. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Tonight, Day 343 of #GeorgiaProtests, the regime detained Rusiko Kobakhidze (the first photo), a Soviet crimes researcher, historian, and a mother of 9 children; They again detained Leila Tsomaia (dark green jacket), a lady who's been protesting and getting arrested for decades; 1/

Archimandrite Ilia Toloraia has been stripped of the priesthood “until he repents.” What does he need to repent? Opposing the regime. The Church of Georgia decision-making and the regime in Georgia are two peas in a Kremlin pod. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Levan Makhashvili, GD MP, on the EU Enlargement [disastrous] report on 🇬🇪: It’s just impossible to have such economic growth & an armageddon in democracy. Levan, political theory aside, don’t get us started on HOW you have that economic growth, and whose war effort you aid.

Yesterday, a mother and a daughter risked jail together, holding their hands. For merely protesting. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Protesters distract the regime police that is there to hunt individual protesters at the Freedom Square metro station. Next thing to be banned: banners. Or just standing near a policeman. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests 📷 @mariamnikuradze.bsky.social

That’s the spirit on the ground in Georgia, yet talk remains talk when it comes to helping us avoid whatever costs we can avoid.

I hear some "let's forget 🇬🇪 and focus on 🇦🇲" from Europeans. I'm all for Armenia in the EU, but the region won't be free, whole, and at peace with an unstable and Russified Georgia. And Armenia's connections with the EU will remain fragile, vulnerable to overnight changes.

At least three more people have been arrested tonight in Georgia: Paata Shamugia, Vazha Berishvili, Beka Agulashvili. 📷 Netgazeti

Rusiko Kobakhidze, a mother of 9 children, consciously risking jail to protest the Russian takeover and a dictatorship in Georgia. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Persistence isn’t the thing we lack, that’s for sure. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests 📷 Merab Metreveli

The people of Georgia persist, Day 342 of #GeorgiaProtests

The regime police brutally assaulted former political prisoner Giorgi Akhobadze. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

The regime police seals whatever you have with you once you are brought to a detention center. They sealed GEL 2.55 (90 US cents!) from the detailed 71-year-old IDP from Abkhazia, Aza Chilachava… Again, truly a “foreign-funded CIA agent”… #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Up to a year jail for 70+ years old Zura Menteshashvili. Crime? Protesting. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests 📷 Giorgi Tarkhnishvili

These last two days, the regime has a particular appetite for jailing the elderly. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Two more elderly ladies are detained for protesting. 5 in less than 24 hours. So very Georgian traditional... And GD says it's the Finnish FM's fault, as well as the EU Ambassador's... #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Regime propaganda media: Aza Chilachava, an IDP from Abkhazia, was detained as she prevented thousands of other IDPs from using the Rustaveli road. Champagne socialists here on X agree. What a CIA agent, asking for an apartment and protesting! #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

"The regime is already brought down when it jails me. I will not give up. I will go first under the Criminal Code too. Isn't that what I'll be facing next? Know that. I'll die for it. Yes, I close the road and I'll again close the road!" 1/3

No matter what your role and sacrifice in a resistance is, some people will always hate you for not being exactly as miserable as they are. And yet, if you are the most miserable, you are deemed weak and useless. And regimes capitalize on all this.

And Manana’s sister too. 4 people from one family detained over protesting: mother, sons, aunt. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Retired Manana Javashvili’s two sons are also detained for protesting. They just jailed an entire family. So very Georgian values.

71-year-old IDP from Abkhazia, Aza Chilachava, requesting a home from the state for 30+ years. "I am from Gagra, when will you grace me with an apartment?" Aza is now detained for "closing the road. 1/2

The regime in Georgia has just detained Manana Javashvili, a 65-year-old teacher. Yet another great example of a "foreign-funded CIA agent," right, X tankies? She's the 3rd retired lady to be detained in less than 16 hours. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Thank you ❤️

According to lawyers, Aza Chilachava has begun a dry hunger strike...

Aza Chilachava, an elderly woman and an Internally Displaced Person (IDP) from Abkhazia, has been detained. It seems like now they could jail her for up to a year, since it’s the second time the police retains her. Before, they gave her a warning over just wearing a COVID mask (had a virus). 1/2

Only 32 signatures missing to hit the target! Friends, fellas, let’s go! The UK sanctions are particularly painful for the regime and they cannot even hide it! www.change.org/p/urge-the-u...

"Until the end!” - my favourite slogan (sounds “Bolomde” in Georgian). Day 340 of daily #GeorgiaProtests, despite the regime jailing those who stand on the road (or get a face mask, the lack of which results in an EUR 1,700 fine too). 📷 Droa party

“Prison torture does not exist under the Georgian Dream.”

"Down with the Russian regime!" “A march of mothers” on day 340 of uninterrupted, nationwide protests in Georgia. 🇬🇪

The regime in Georgia said they won’t be attending EuroNest Parliamentary Assemblies anymore. Okay, fine, I’ll take the floor 💅🏻

Most Georgian Dream ex-officials are now exposed to have embezzled millions. And it was “NGO transparency” that was the main issue for the prosperity in the country, not to mention that they were all transparent to begin with. Thinking of those America-hating tankies on X…

“I didn't close the road. Not because I’m afraid, but because there are so many members of Droa party who’s in jail, that there needs to be somebody to send them parcels in prison,” - Tata Peradze said. Her sham trial will be on November 4.

Tata was released for now, but her unlawful trial will be on November 4.

Our Droa party member Tata Peradze was detained this morning. The regime is accusing her of “closing the road” on Rustaveli for the second time now, which is up to 1 year in prison under the Criminal Code. Tata did not do it. 1/

Day 339 of #GeorgiaProtests We need: 1. Non-engagement with the regime; 2. Targeted sanctions; 3. Aiding the resistance movement. GD will never stabilize, and the more sanctions and aid are protracted, the more suffering there will be in Georgia and in the region. 📷 MOSE

The regime in Georgia bans any additional paid employment for public servants.

Elderly protester Zura Menteshashvili detained for allegedly having closed the Rustaveli road. He had just been released from detention for the same “offense,” which means that now he’ll face criminal prosecution of up to 1 year! Notice 🇺🇸. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

In Rustavi, the shelter for children who ended up in the street criminal word out of economic distress is closing down. The “state” doesn't fund it, and all donors are now banned from funding anything, so… I bet all the “anti-CIA” lefties and right-wingers on X are happy.
