🇬🇪HELP! Georgia suffered a fraudulent election that dismantled democracy and led to a one-party parliament under Georgian Dream. The Council of Europe’s fact-finding mission confirms widespread human rights violations.

extremely negative report from OSCE ODIHR about recent elections in Georgia. the democratic community must respond with firm sanctions and demand new free and fair elections.

JUST IN: the OSCE/ODIHR final report is out, with the report link itself embedded in the press release link. At a quick glance, seems like a solid report considering the limits of OSCE mandate (they cannot declare it illegitimate outright). 1/2

Russia faced no consequences for its 2008 invasion of Georgia, which ultimately led to its wars in Ukraine in 2014 and 2022. If Russia and its proxies are not held accountable for turning Georgia to a testing ground to push a democratic system toward authoritarianism through hybrid warfare,

🇬🇪🇪🇺EU foreign ministers meeting Mon 16th is a critical test. It’s not just about Georgia—it’s about the EU’s ability to act and Kaja Kallas’ first challenge as lead diplomat.
Failure to impose sanctions would hand Georgian Dream a win and embolden authoritarianism on Europe’s doorstep.

if Georgians are waking up for 7:00 AM, then either everyone is taking a wizzair flight from Kutaisi, or the regime should be very afraid.

Whoever doesn’t know Georgians cannot comprehend what it means that we would begin protesting at 07:00 AM, before daylight. It’s much more likely that Georgians would go to sleep at that time. We are NOT morning people. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

friendly reminder that the rebels taking control over Syria are an islamist militia designated as a terrorist group in the US.
it's great news that the Russian-backed regime of dictator Assad is gone, but don't expect a free and democratic state to succeed it.

Out of 320 detained, 256 are brutally beaten; 0 policeman investigated; the body responsible for investigating the police misconduct does not respond to the Presidential administration's calls. #GeorgiaProtests
The President summons the Head of the Special Investigation Service Koka Katsitadze, the body responsible for investigating police misconduct and violence. But the President's administration is unable to reach them - they just ignore her authority.
