Tbilisi Literary Festival opened with an empty chair for poet Zviad Ratiani, who is in prison and will probably be sentenced tomorrow

Festival was mostly organised on volunteer basis as thanks to the new legislation, we are no longer able to receive grants

It was one of the best also❤️

After Another Sham Election in Georgia, the Country’s Citizens Persist

Georgians will fight for their democracy. The ruling party is now one more paranoid, insecure dictatorship that knows its days are numbered.

Only international observers just happen to be from Hungary and Slovakia, and local organizations's accounts have been frozen

#Georgia's goverment is holding elections today, in other words, #Tbilisi mayor (who just happens to be a billionaire) plans to appoint himself for the third term

There are no international or local observers

Citizens who refuse to participate in this circus are gathering on Rustaveli avenue

#Tbilisi tonight #GeorgiaProtests

This is one of the saddest and hardest days for us. 32 years ago on this day the war in Abkhazia ended — making 250,000 Georgians refugees

Marika Mikiashvili 🇬🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 @marikamikiashvili.bsky.social · 26d

seems like the regime will link the “October 4 peaceful revolution” drive of various groups, including the now-jailed UNM politician Levan Khabeishvili, to Ukraine and the SBU.

I can already imagine them saying: “Ukraine was orchestrating a bloody coup in Georgia.”

Civil.ge @civil.ge · 26d

SSSG said two Ukrainians detained on September 11 brought explosives under Ukraine’s SBU orders. The SSSG official claimed the detainees said the device was bound for Russia, but evidence pointed to Tbilisi, with a possible link to the October 4 elections.

#Tbilisi yesterday, Georgia's russian dream (or peace party, as they call themselves) sent some thugs to attack protesters and journalists

Today the so-called gov members said that it was ok to beat women because they are not really women but some unknown creatures🤢 #terrorinGeorgia
