@elonmusk If no one listens to them anymore, why are authoritarian regimes around the world so desperate to silence them?

[Etia 🇬🇪 @etiasview]

@MartaKosEU This regime will not reverse course. They're long past that. Please don’t make this mistake—even after hundreds of protesters have been brutally beaten, tortured, and imprisoned. Restrictive measures and support for free media are how you can help.

@EUinGeorgia @MartaKosEU They're long past reversing course and returning to the EU path. Please keep taking restrictive measures against the regime and support free media. They're all we've got now.

Georgian Dream Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has again accused the US Embassy in Georgia, USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) of “acting against the interests of the Georgian people and state.”

“The U.S. Embassy in Georgia, along with USAID, NED, and other related institutions, has been working in coordination against the Georgian people and the Georgian state. Therefore, when discussing necessary changes, these changes should equally apply to the operations of USAID, NED, and the Embassy itself,” Kobakhidze stated.

“We have high hopes that under the new [U.S.] administration, the approach of the U.S. Embassy toward the Georgian people and state will change. This distorted coordination between the Embassy, USAID, NED, and other relevant entities must come to an end,” he added.

Police have violently disrupted a demonstration by journalists in support of Batumlebi and Netgazeti founder Mzia Amaghlobeli who faces 4-7 years in prison for slapping a police officer, which many claim is a disproportionate sentence. She has been on hunger strike for 24 days.

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

Grateful to add my name to this powerful letter of the International Friends of Georgia calling for the immediate release of Mzia Amaghlobeli and all political prisoners of the Ivanishvili regime as well as sanctions on the regime. The only way forward is free and fair elections!

@ItalyinGeorgia @maxdantuono @MFAgovge What 🇬🇪🇪🇺 relations did you discuss? How do you justify engaging with a regime that relentlessly accuses the EU of plotting a coup? Did you challenge Georgian Dream’s deep-state conspiracies? What was the purpose of this meeting, and what did it achieve? #CheVergogna

[Etia 🇬🇪 @etiasview]

@JamesMacCleary @RepJoeWilson This is crucial. Thank you!

[Hans Gutbrod @HansGutbrod]

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/

In response to the Georgian Dream's continued conspiracies and accusations against the U.S. Government representation in Georgia.

[U.S. Embassy Tbilisi @usingeo]

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.

Hey, guys, have you ever seen a high-ranking police officer take a loudspeaker in hand and swear at the people they are hired to serve? No? Well, enjoy then.

“F*** your moms,” you can hear him almost rapping.

Hunting protesters, violent arrests, and beatings by police forces in Tbilisi. Per @Publika_ge

[PUBLIKA @Publika_ge]

Hundreds of protesters have gathered on Rustaveli Avenue. They will soon be joined by others coming from Tbilisi Mall. Rustaveli Avenue is blocked.

⭕️ @MAmaghlobeli & @Charlie_Hebdo_

👉🏻As many have noticed, Mzia doesn’t like photos, publicity, or attention. She is a deeply modest person. For years, her office had no framed pictures, no posters - just plain light gray walls. But after the attack on Charlie Hebdo, she hung a single poster: the image of Muhammad with the inscription “Je suis Charlie.”

Before anyone rushes to comment, let me clarify: Mzia’s mother was Muslim, I am Muslim, and in Adjara, we grew up in a beautiful tradition of religious diversity. When asked why this was the only poster in her office, Mzia would say it was a constant reminder that freedom of the press, speech, and expression must be unapologetic and unconditional. She believed that the moment we start making excuses for limiting these freedoms, we begin stripping ourselves of all liberties, ultimately enslaving ourselves to censorship - a force that destroys society from within.

From unjust imprisonment, Mzia wrote: “There is something more valuable than life itself, and that is freedom.” I know these are not just words for her - they are the essence of how she lives.

I urge Charlie Hebdo and the global press community to stand in solidarity with a journalist who is now a hostage for nothing more than being an exemplary media owner and defender of press freedom.

Today marks the 21st day of her hunger strike - she refuses even sugar, vitamins, or supplements, surviving only on water. I don’t believe in honoring press freedom fighters only after they are gone. We must do everything to protect and defend them now. And our greatest tool in this fight is journalism itself.

Speak about Mzia. Write about her. Give her strength before it is too late.

Nancy Voland and Ilia Glonti, founders of the activist group 'Daitove,' reported on social media that police officers arrived at their homes.

“The police came to my door. They said if I don’t open it, they will enter by force,” Voland wrote in a post.

Shortly after, Glonti posted a similar message: “Police have come to my place as well!”

Daitove is a popular Facebook group that has been instrumental in organizing the ongoing protests.
