Thank you, @elinavaltonen! From Rustavi Women’s Prison.
Peaceful protestors have gathered in front of the Parliament Building in Tbilisi, Georgia, to voice their concern over the repressive direction of their country. They have every right to democracy, to freedom of expression and basic human rights. We are here to support them.

A REPEATED "offense" of covering one’s face during a protest, or closing the road, will result in a CRIMINAL imprisonment of up to 1 year. The first-time “offense” is administrative detention for 15-20 days. Protesting without a face cover is a USD 1,800 fine each time. Can
15-20 days administrative detention will soon be enacted for anyone who covers their face at the protest, or closes the road. And let me remind you that NOT covering your face is USD 1,800 fine - four times the national median monthly income in Georgia. Basically, either pay

🚨 Georgian Dream’s new initiative = Protest becomes ILLEGAL in Georgia. They want to BAN citizens from raising their voice against injustice. This is not “law and order”, this is dictatorship in action. If protest is banned, democracy dies. @RepJoeWilson

Georgia can be a story of a great victory over an unimaginable assault - with the help of targeted sanctions that are proven to work, and aid for CSOs and independent media. It's not much for Europe. It's everything for the resistance in Georgia.
What has been happening in Georgia over the past year - confirmed again by this weekend’s local "elections" - shows how quickly a country can be captured from within. This is an alarming signal for us in the EU, too. Let’s stay vigilant so we don’t follow the Georgian scenario.

Thank you, Norway, @NorwayMFA From the Rustavi Women's Prison. @NorwayAmbGeoArm ✊🏻🇬🇪🇪🇺
A sad day for democracy in Georgia. OSCE/ODIHR unable to observe local elections, recommendations unaddressed. Regrettable use of violence. Repressive laws and jailing opposition leaders further undermine trust in Georgia’s elections.

The pro-Russian regime arrested Gela Khasaia. He was kidnapped near his house and taken on falsified charges, now facing 3 years in prison. He is not only a pro-European party member but also a refugee from Russian-occupied Abkhazia and an active protester. Freedom for Gela!
