Before Bucha, there was Abkhazia. On August 14, 1992, Russia ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ and Russian-backed forces attacked Georgia ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ช, starting a war that led to the ethnic cleansing and displacement of over 200,000 Georgians and an ongoing occupation โ€” the same imperialist crimes seen in Ukraine today.

17 years ago, Russia launched its war against Georgia, with aggression starting days earlier. Shelling of Georgian ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ช villages and illegal troop deployments preceded August 7, 2008. The world must not forget how appeasing Russia in Georgia led to war in Ukraine. #WeRemember2008

Day 197 of daily, nationwide protests in Georgia. Public anger is growing after a court handed down an unjust verdict against a 21-year-old protester.

The regime in Georgia began issuing verdicts for its prisoners of conscience.

21-year-old Mate Devidze just got 4.5 years for โ€œattacking the police.โ€

#terrorinGeorgia The pro-russian Georgian Dream regime has just arrested a key opposition figure, Nika Melia โ€” the second major opposition leader now behind bars. Itโ€™s a dictatorship in motion, eliminating political opposition. Share and spread the word.

In response to the increasing repressions of the opposition in Georgia, Poland has banned 8 representatives of enforcement authorities responsible for the violence against protesters, from entering its territory.

Poland supports the pro-European aspirations of ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ช society.

Meeting with school students to discuss Georgian security & Russian hybrid warfare. Knowing the younger generation, I can say that Russia will never be able to conquer their minds and therefore, our homeland. Georgia will be free.

$169,500 of public money wasted in 3 months by Georgian Dream to boost 7 propaganda facebook pages.

Lies over lives, disinformation over development.

1/ On the night of April 8โ€“9, 2025, parents of regime prisoners spent the night on Rustaveli Ave, aiming to prevent representatives of GD from decorating the memorial with flowers. Irakli Kobakhidze and other members of GD went to the Cathedral instead of Rustaveli.

These pictures of the heroic Georgian woman Nana Makharadze are more than symbolic.
She faced russian aggression on April 9, 1989, and sheโ€™s still resisting it today.

36 years ago, soviet russia brutally suppressed a protest against its occupation in Tbilisi ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ช, killing 21, including 17 women and the youngest, just 16. We honor those who sacrificed for our freedom. russiaโ€™s imperialism will inevitably fall, just like the USSR!

Day 128. No way that we stop. And they cannot consolidate โ€œpainlessly,โ€ without years of instability.

You can help us avoid costs that can be avoided in our liberation struggle through sanctions that are tailored to push the regime to schedule free elections.

The regime is potentially preparing for early parliamentary elections to secure a constitutional majority and may aim to expel Article 78 of the Constitution, which mandates constitutional bodies to take all necessary measures to ensure ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ชโ€™s full integration into EU and NATO. 5/5

Observers will be expelled for โ€œstanding in the wrong placeโ€ โ€” Until now, they could choose the best vantage point to monitor the process. Now, election officials will have the power to restrict their movement and expel them from polling stations if they donโ€™t comply. 4/5

Voter identification checks have been restricted โ€” Opposition election commission members and independent observers will no longer be able to verify whether a voterโ€™s personal information matches the data in the official voter list. 3/5

With the new laws, independent observers are now banned from monitoring the verification device at polling station โ€” This means there will be no way to verify who is voting and whose data the power usurpers are using to falsify elections. 2/5

A sixth month of #GeorgiaProtests.

As President Zourabichvili pointed out during her tonightโ€™s address, the dictatorship stands on 3 pillars that our partners can help us shake:

1. Financial network of the oligarch;
2. Russian(-style) propaganda;
3. Repressive resources.

At this very moment, itโ€™s getting a little tense in Tbilisi - for the first time in months.

Protesters are numerous, angry, and fed up.
