I'm Georgian and 20% of my country is occupied by Russia

[Rusudan Djakeli 🇬🇪🇺🇦 @rusudanjakeli]

Iranian and Georgian protesters stand side by side outside the Iranian Embassy in Tbilisi in solidarity.

Iranians have been protesting here daily, and today a larger rally brought many Georgians out in support. #FreeIran

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.

[Marika Mikiashvili 🇬🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 @Mikiashvili_M]

Georgians stand with the people of Iran.

Everyone but the regime pillars, that is.

All these people on Rustaveli Avenue are risking arrest tonight for up to 15 days, as protesting on sidewalks is now prohibited and they received official notice yesterday. #GeorgiaProtests Day 385.

Day 384 of nonstop protests in Georgia. 🇬🇪

[Rusudan Djakeli 🇬🇪🇺🇦 @rusudanjakeli]

For the 384th day in a row, Georgians are protesting in 8+ cities against an illegitimate, Russia-backed, repressive regime.

[Rusudan Djakeli 🇬🇪🇺🇦 @rusudanjakeli]

I didn’t expect to see such a large crowd today—a day after Georgian Dream introduced a new law restricting protests without prior notice. We still don’t know how aggressively it will be enforced, or how many people they plan to jail.

Day 381 of nonstop protests in Georgia.

“Sanction Georgian Dream” - Day 380 of non-stop #GeorgiaProtests. Peaceful manifestation is now limited on sidewalks too.

[Mariam Nikuradze @mari_nikuradze]

So basically GD wants to fully ban protest and it will be in force as soon as the day after tomorrow, probably. De facto, police have been arresting people during marches on pavements already, now it will be "legal" to do that.

Today’s march requesting an international investigation into the use of a chemical weapon against peaceful protesters in Georgia in late 2024.

BBC Eye’s investigation into the GD regime’s use of chemical agents to disperse the #GeorgiaProtests has clearly blindsided Ivanishvili’s regime. Each day they say something different, contradicting their own statements, and even their propaganda channels look confused, unable to settle on a single message.

For now, they’ve decided to stage a show of “investigating” the case, separate from the investigation targeting those featured in the BBC film under charges of assisting foreign organizations in hostile activities.

Today they summoned former Minister of Internal Affairs Vakhtang Gomelauri and former head of the Special Task Forces, Zviad Kharazishvili (Khareba), infamous for his brutality and for personally torturing protesters.

Let’s see where this goes.

Thank you for your support @JamesMacCleary

[James MacCleary MP @JamesMacCleary]

Hi @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret @RestIsPolitics
Your coverage of Georgia last year was excellent, but it seems to have slipped off the radar. A reminder that they’re still fighting and need help.

Now reports say chemical agents have been used in water cannons on protestors.

[Terje Helland @terjehelland]

🇬🇪☠️Georgian Dream used a WW1 chemical agent on peaceful protesters one day, then almost immediately banned protective masks and goggles the next.
Nothing says “we know exactly what we’re doing” quite like this.
If anyone still wonders why this evil regime must be isolated, sanctioned and removed, look no further. #GeorgiaProtests

[James MacCleary MP @JamesMacCleary]

I was glad to work with the producers @bbcworldservice on this and I'm glad it’s getting the attention it deserves.

[U.S. Helsinki Commission @HelsinkiComm]

Today, @SenatorWicker, @RepJoeWilson, @SenWhitehouse & @RepCohen reacted to recent findings that Georgian authorities used a chemical weapon against peaceful protestors last year, calling for the U.S. government & allies to verify the report and impose relevant sanctions. (1/3)

[James MacCleary MP @JamesMacCleary]

This is really shocking news from Georgia.

The are using WW1 chemical weapons on their own people.

They are on the frontline of Russian aggression and authoritarianism.

Vladimir Putin cannot get his way, we must stand up for Georgian democracy.

WW1 toxic compound sprayed on Georgian protesters, BBC evidence suggests https://t.co/mA6asuGf3t

1/ The bipartisan U.S. Helsinki Commission responds to the possible use of a toxic substance alongside water cannons during last year’s protests in Tbilisi, Georgia:

[Anna Gvarishvili @AnnaGvarishvili]

“We call on the U.S. government and our democratic allies to verify these reports and impose relevant sanctions on those responsible. We continue to urge our colleagues in Congress to pass the MEGOBARI Act, bipartisan legislation that would provide the State Department with additional tools to support the Georgian people’s struggle for freedom,” @HelsinkiComm https://t.co/FG4oIYNlR6
