📍Early this morning, activist Mariam Mekantshishvili was arrested at her home while she was with her 6-year-old daughter. Mariam is a single mother.
On October 15, she was the one who thanked the OSCE Chairperson, Finland’s FM, on Rustaveli Avenue.

Putin made multiple attempts to assassinate Zelensky at the beginning of the war and they all failed. Now he asks him to come to Moscow!?! Perhaps Putin should go to Kiev.
Tornike Toshkhua is on a hunger strike for 17 days!
He is one of the two unlawful detainees who neutralized an armed provocateur and handed over his knife to the police.
They face years in prison!
Tornike is a public servant, working at the Revenue Service.

🇺🇸After more than 30 meetings with Putin, I can say this: He is a KGB officer, not a politician. Lying is his language, and his "ceasefires" are a trap. He only respects strength. My own experience in political imprisonment is a reminder of his vindictiveness. The West must never forget this reality.
🇺🇦Коли Путін говорить про «перемир'я», це завжди пастка. У 90-х він обманув Грузію, Азербайджан та Чечню, а потім і нас у 2008-му. Він використовує їх лише для того, щоб підготуватися до нової атаки та захопити більше землі. Цей урок Україна знає як ніхто інший. Світ має це пам'ятати.

Re Georgian Dream: “Is it in our national interest to have an anti-American government governing an important part of the world?”
Couldn’t agree more @SecRubio.
Police are raiding the home of journalist and activist Nanuka Zhorzholiani. They’ve taken her phone and are not allowing her lawyer to be present during the search. She’s reportedly being accused of being a “foreign agent”—a baseless, Soviet-style tactic to silence dissent. Nanuka runs a humanitarian foundation and is a respected public voice. This is political repression.

Another video from Belgrade showing the huge scale of the protests taking place against President Vucic tonight.
They are demanding the resignation of the Serbian president.
Hundreds of thousands people are out on the street 🇷🇸
War criminal Putin launched a ballistic missile at a hotel where American, UK, and local Ukrainian aid and health volunteers were staying. 4 dead, over 30 injured. In his deliberate bombing of children’s cancer hospitals, maternity wards, shopping centers, and places labeled as sheltering women and children, Putin further confirms his cowardice and contempt for life, including the lives of Russians he sends to die in his pointless war.
We cannot wait any longer - Ukraine and the EU need bold, decisive action on defense.
That’s why all disgraceful obstructionists must be removed.
Let’s immediately suspend Hungary’s voting rights under Article 7 and strip its influence until it respects our shared values!
if you follow #Georgia, you have heard about the beatings in especially designated mini-vans -- not in the heat of an arrest or maybe subduing, but afterwards, deliberate & systematic.
And here you can see this for yourself, as it happened this evening by Tbilisi Mall. In four parts.
Here you see just after arrest. 1/
