The @OSCE is built on strong commitments to human rights, democracy and the rule of law. 🇸🇪 welcomes the Moscow Mechanism mission’s independent expert report and recommendations on the alarming situation in 🇬🇪. The #OSCE #MoscowMechanism provides the opportunity to investigate issues related to the OSCE human dimension and is an important tool for accountability. We urge the Georgian authorities to implement the recommendations in full.

@SwedeninGE Tack för allt Sverige! Ni har gjort så mycket för Georgien kring mänskliga rättigheter, jämlikhet, fred och demokrati bildning.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Berlin:

"We are Russia's next target."

"We must shift to a wartime mindset. Ukraine must have what it needs to defend itself."

"Russia is losing 1,200 soldiers a day. If Putin is willing to sacrifice ordinary Russians like this, what is he prepared to do to us?"

"Eighty percent of the critical components in Russian drones and missiles are made in China. China is a lifeline for Russia's war."

"Russia could be ready to use military force against NATO within five years."

"Conflict is at our door."

"We must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured."

According to BBC, last year the Ivanishvili’s regime used a World War I era chemical substance ,,Camite” to disperse pro-European demonstrations.

The BBC article includes testimonies from protest participants who reported various symptoms during the crackdown on pro-European rallies, including after the use of water cannons such as shortness of breath, coughing, and nausea, that persisted for weeks.

According to the BBC, its journalists spoke with chemical weapons experts, sources within Georgia’s police special forces, and medical doctors, and found that the available evidence points to the use of a substance referred to by the French military establishment as ,,Camite.”

Europe's democracies are being threatened by regimes that use not just armies, but disinformation, hybrid attacks, confusion, and fear.

So rearmament must go beyond buying more weapons.

It means investing in freedom. For all Europeans.

A free Belarus is Europe’s best defense.

As GD cracks down on 15 more people and announces more repressions, the number of political prisoners in Georgia APPROACHES 100. If this is not a wake up call, idk what is. #GeorgiaProtest #terroringeorgia #StopRussia #stopBidzina

[Marta Kos @MartaKosEU]

Yesterday’s local elections in Georgia were held after months of increasing repression.

Violence is not acceptable nor is disinformation about the EU’s role in 🇬🇪 & personal attacks against the 🇪🇺 Ambassador.

Citizens’ rights to freedom of assembly & expression must be upheld.

For over 300 days, Georgians have protested for our European future, betrayed by the Georgian Dream regime on Nov. 28, 2024. Over 65 political prisoners, including journalists, opposition leaders, and actors, remain jailed. EU integration is paused. The government is sanctioned and lacks legitimacy.

On Oct. 4, Georgia faces sham local elections staged by the government, boycotted by most opposition. Key opposition leaders and non-partisan groups, supported by the Georgian nation, announce a peaceful revolution to reclaim power usurped by GD through rigged elections and betrayal of the Georgian constitution, aiming to restore European integration.

The world must not ignore this.
All eyes on Georgia. 🇬🇪 🇪🇺

[Natia Mezvrishvili @N_mezvrishvili]

Sandu’s leadership in #Moldova🇲🇩is an excellent example of how maintaining peace, prioritizing national interests, supporting #Ukraine🇺🇦, countering Russian interference, and advancing the country on its EU path can coexist - all without dragging Moldova into war, attacking Zelensky, demonizing the EU, or endangering Moldova’s national interests. She shattered the Georgian regime’s propaganda narrative that the EU is pushing for a „second front“ of war in #Georgia🇬🇪 in exchange for #EU🇪🇺integration. This is why Georgian authorities did not congratulate her and instead flooded their propaganda channels with anti-Sandu and anti-Moldova reports.
