The Georgian Foreign Ministry reacted to the report behind the recent critical PACE resolution, saying it contains “one-sided political evaluations” and “misleading narratives,” and questioning the “impartiality” of the process. https://t.co/jSndPvemgW
Georgian Dream MPs and members of Giorgi Gakharia’s party physically clashed in Parliament. The video shows two Olympic champions, Lasha Talakhadze and Geno Petriashvili, as well as GD MP Archil Gorduladze, attacking their colleague.
🟥 Solidarity from Georgian prisoner of conscience Mzia Amaglobeli for political prisoner @Helenkhosh, whose lawyers spoke this week about the sharp deterioration of her health.
“I didn’t have Imedi TV’s contact information, so I’ll tell Batumelebi/Netgazeti instead. Hopefully no one will accuse me of bias.
Jokes aside, it has been a difficult week, a heavy one. Each passing day seems to draw us deeper into an even harsher reality. Nothing is really unexpected anymore, and perhaps I shouldn’t be worried at this point, but I can’t help it. I cannot take calmly the news of new arrests, violence, indifference, and countless forms of repression.
It is painful to hear that Elene Khoshtaria now walks with a cane, or that she struggles even to hold a pen. It is good that her lawyers have drawn attention to her health.
Here, in this confined space, one’s sensitivity to injustice becomes so acute that everything a person needs simply to live starts to feel insignificant.
What I find difficult to understand is this: in a country where everyone — including doctors and hospital owners themselves — goes abroad not only for treatment but even for medical diagnoses, how can anyone be offended by questions about a prisoner’s health and the plan for treating them under prison conditions? Especially when Elene is one of those people who, even here in prison, does not demand not only what she needs, but not even what she is entitled to.
She has no need for manipulation.
Even I know that before her imprisonment, Elene was getting by with the help of painkillers. The regime knows better than anyone that her health was bound to worsen and become more complicated in prison.
It will be difficult for them to ignore Elene’s condition, after all, she is under 24-hour video surveillance.
I do not think Elene needs words of encouragement from anyone, including me. Still, I want to tell her that she is not alone. Just a shout away from her is another woman — me — who believes in the same ideals and who, like her, will fight to the very end for a democratic and European #Georgia.”

Congratulations to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on his sweeping electoral victory! This is a repudiation of Russia’s malign interference and an affirmation of the Armenian people’s goal of peace and prosperity in the region. A South Caucasus free of Russian, Chinese, and Iranian influence means a bright and successful future. President Trump’s vision proved correct!!
The puppet Georgian Dream PM has accused our excellent and honorable Secretary of State @SecRubio of lying. This is outrageous. Georgia is infiltrated by Iran, China & Russia – its behavior must change!
Happy Independence Day to the Georgian People! I have faith that the free Georgian people will triumph over the criminal anti-American Georgian Dream regime which seeks to sell their country to Iran, China, and Russia against their will!
I found today’s oath taking service at Freedom Square very moving. The Georgian Defence Forces are proud guardians of sovereignty and independence. So I was pleased to pass on His Majesty The King’s message of congratulations.
The statement reads: "Progress on democratic reforms, the rule of law, and the protection of fundamental freedoms remain essential for advancing on the European path".
“Give medication to children” — a protest march was held in Tbilisi in support of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Parents have been urging the Georgian Dream for months to import the medication, but so far, they have received no support.

Day 543
Every country in the region from Azerbaijan to Türkiye to Saudi Arabia has taken America’s side against Iran EXCEPT Georgia. Why is the Georgian Dream regime supporting the terrorist regime in Iran?
President Donald Trump will always be cherished in his courageous and historic placement of American troops in Poland to deter war criminal Putin and now today 5,000 more troops to establish Peace Through Strength!
