๐ฌ๐ช An opposition march toward parliament is taking place in Tbilisi on Georgiaโs Independence Day
Thousands of people gathered on Rustaveli Avenue despite authorities refusing to approve the rally. Police forces have been deployed around the parliament building: some officers are stationed behind the gates, while others โ with covered faces โ are reinforcing metal barricades.
The opposition was also banned from setting up a stage and bringing equipment for the demonstration.
Day 381 of nonstop protests in Georgia. The Russia backed Georgian Dream introduced a new law to curb unsanctioned protests.
Protestors continue to resist daily with no sign of stopping in the face of repression and tyranny. #3E
The Anglo-Georgian Archaeological Expedition to Nokalakevi has been working for 25 years. They keep digging and finding more history. Here are pieces of a 2500 year old Colchis kvevri wine jar found today! ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฌ๐ช ๐ค.
The crowd is too massive for my phone camera to capture. ๐ฌ๐ช

The world stands in awe of the Georgian people, who have protested for 200 consecutive days against the anti-American Georgian Dream regime that seeks to sell their country to China. Georgia will be free and does not belong to crooks.
Ivanishviliโs kangaroo court has sentenced innocent 21-year-old protestor Mate Devidze to 4 years and 6 months in prison simply for wanting a future of freedom for his country of Georgia. Nino Galutashvili and the other perpetrators of this heinous crime must face sanctions!
The anti-American Georgian Dream regime has just arrested key opposition leader Nika Melia on the same false pretense as the previous attack on opposition. It is clear that the total banning of opposition is underway so as to sell the country to China. Sanctions are the solution!
I am grateful to wish the freedom-loving Georgian people a HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY. I urge the Senate to move swiftly in passing #MEGOBARI in support of the brave people of Georgia, marching for over 180 days for their country and families. ๐บ๐ธ๐ฌ๐ช
