Can't wait for the day when Georgia's free, and I can have a life again: take a walk and read, travel for leisure, learn a language, grow a plant, paint, plan future and just not be in the survival mode 24/7.
Most of us are like this now.

β€œFreedom for Mzia Amaghlobeli” – Colleagues of the jailed prominent Georgian journalist have displayed this message on a bridge in Tbilisi. The free world must speak out in support of independent journalism in Georgia and against the regime’s repression against critics, free media, & civil society.

What is happening in Georgia – free speech is persecuted, citizens and journalists are beaten, and the EU path is traded for alignment with Russia & China – is an attempt to establish a pro-Russian dictatorship and permanently sever the country from Europe, fulfilling the Kremlin's long-held dream.

I took a photo of this elderly couple near the Parliament. They’re probably over 75. Late at night, in the freezing cold, they stood hand in hand with the Georgian flag, protesting against the tyrannical regimeβ€”together, caring for each other, and thinking about the future of the youth.

In an interview with @ FoxNews President Zurabishvili was asked what she would encourage President Trump to tell Putin if they spoke. "Hands off Georgia. Hands of the Caucasus, because that's an interest of Western countries. It cannot become again dominated by Russia," she said.

Mzia Amaglobeli, a veteran journalist and member of the International Press Institute (IPI), has set the highest standards in Georgian journalism. Her newsroom Batumelebi has been an indispensable part of the Georgian media landscape.

We call for Mzia's immediate release.

It seems like the UK could fundamentally undermine Ivanishvili's resources.

Dear British friends of Georgia, please reach out to your elected officials to join the motion to sanction the oligarch dictator Ivanishvili. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡ͺThe UK has a unique opportunity to support Georgia’s democracy by imposing sanctions on Bidzina Ivanishvili and his network, including Irakli Rukhadze, Ucha Mamatsashvili, Hunnewell Partners, and Imedi TV.

On Rustaveli Ave, police gave protesters 15 mins to clear the road, warning: "Move, or your faces are recorded, and you'll be fined." But, before the deadline, police left the scene. Meanwhile, in Dec & Jan, protesters are massively fined for "illegally blocking roads."
