Tomorrow we need to show up in numbers, otherwise, you'll be watching on TV as demonstrators are arrested simply for gathering on Rustaveli Avenue.
🔥Fight to the end!🇬🇪
#GeorgiaProtests
Some Georgian protesters are bracing for unlawful mass arrests today. Here’s why:
On Dec 12, Georgian Dream passed another repressive amendment requiring citizens to notify police 5 days in advance of any protest — even on a sidewalk. This directly contradicts Article 21 of Georgia’s Constitution, which guarantees peaceful assembly without prior permission. 'Blocking a sidewalk' is also banned. Penalties: up to 15 days in jail (20 for organizers), and up to 1 year for repeat 'offenses.'
Yesterday, on day 384 of nonstop protests, police formally warned protesters on Rustaveli Avenue that they would enforce this law to the “fullest extent,” claiming no notice had been filed.
In reality, at least three people did file notices and never received a response. Under the law itself, police have 3 days to reply and, if needed, propose an alternative time, place, or route. If they don’t respond within that window, the protest is legally allowed — even by their own rules.
Today, as they have for 384 consecutive days, protesters will gather again in 8+ cities across Georgia — exercising a constitutional right, not committing a crime.
Dear @JozefSikela, as you weigh the EU decision on Georgia’s visa-free regime, please hear the citizens who will live with the consequences. Please target the architects of repression, not the people. Here’s my open letter to you:

Seven facts about Operation “Spiderweb” — a Ukrainian strike that will go down in history as one of the most successful special operations ever conducted.
1. Ukrainian special forces spent 1.5 years preparing and planning the attack.

@taditkundu He doesn’t represent Georgian people, he’s an illegitimate PM brought to power an openly Russian oligarch and stayed in power through falsifying elections. We’re in the streets for 4 months and counting, don’t draw your conclusions based on this guy.
The Georgian Nightmare (aka the ruling @GeorgianDream41) just passed a law banning swearing—because they can’t handle criticism.
Fines: 2,000-5,000 GEL (more than a monthly salary), or 60 days in jail.
MADNESS.

Mr. Mdinaradze’s statements today are categorically false and demonstrate a lack of understanding of what the United States Embassy does to support President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio’s top priorities of making America safer, stronger and more prosperous.
SOS! "Mzia Amaglobeli has been trying to send out the letter for nearly a week, but it remains stuck somewhere in the system. Most likely, they will shift the blame to the postal service, just as they did with her appeal, which supposedly “arrived late” at the court of appeals.
Today marks the 18th day of her hunger strike against injustice. Meanwhile, the man who degraded her during her detention still holds his position as the Batumi police chief."

🇬🇪BREAKING: The Council of Europe (CoE) has set strict conditions for granting Georgia’s ruling party, Georgian Dream (GD), credentials at PACE
Failure to comply by April 2025 could lead to full suspension—and open the door for more sanctions.
🧵The heat is on Georgian Dream ...
I call on the EU and the UK to sanction Bidzina Ivanishvili, his immediate family, and his cronies. The United States can help with secondary sanctions on institutions managing his illicit wealth. Trump will fix it.
Irakli Rukhadze is the Chief Propagandist of the Ivanishvili regime and holds numerous corrupt assets for his boss, who is selling Georgia to the CCP, War Criminal Putin & the Iranian regime. His propaganda outfit, Imedi TV, broadcasts 24/7 hate of America. Sanctions are coming
📢 There is no "Russia." It's just the Soviet Union with one country left—and it naturally aims to take back the other 14, AT LEAST. The West can’t outmatch its propaganda—but now that it's been rebranded as a “free country,” you let it infiltrate your media.
Call it what it is.
@terjehelland@PiaKauma@oscepa@elinavaltonen@Finland_OSCE The GD party leadership is being sanctioned left and right—what does she think she’s doing? This visit will be spun by state propaganda TV and does NOTHING to help the pro-EU protesters. Sheer stupidity or a calculated pro-Russia act? @PiaKauma@oscepa
