There was a post saying that, according to the latest information, around 2,000 Iranian protesters have been killed. In the comments, GD troll accounts wrote that Georgian protesters deserve the same.
Troll accounts affiliated with GD are posting about Iran in Facebook comments, arguing that when protests become ‘destructive,’ the gov't is right to suppress them. They call Iranian protesters ‘Akatsuki,’ just as GD calls Georgian protesters. Therefore, GD is siding with the current Iranian regime.

It’s been a year since Mzia was arrested. I worked through the night. Everything that happened that night was crazy. I never imagined it would last this long though.
It has been a year since Mzia Amaghlobeli was arrested. This is footage of her first arrest. She was briefly released afterward, and soon after that came the slap and her arrest under the criminal code. For placing a sticker on a wall for a few seconds, she was fined about $700.

Please give a thought to people whose New Year’s Eve was spent in bomb shelters because a criminal invader was trying to destroy their energy infrastructure.
‼️ How Russia attacked Ukraine on New Year's Eve: a map of the flight of enemy targets.
Main directions: Lutsk, Volyn, Odesa, Konotop, Zatoka. The main target is energy infrastructure.

Crazy story coming in - Ukraine duped Russia after faking the death of Denis Kapustin, head of the Russian Volunteer Corps
Kapustin is alive, as shown in a Ukraine Intel video, as they took Russia's $500,000 reward for his death, and kept him safe all along. Genius Budanov!

1/ Judge Giorgi Gelashvili commuted Eva Shashiashvili’s imprisonment to a 5,000-GEL bail in connection with the events of October 4. Both the defense and the prosecution requested that the judge change the measure of restraint. She will be released from prison today.

It will likely be very difficult for Tamara to leave Akhalgori and Tskhinvali, but for now, her freedom is the most important thing.
Journalist and activist Tamar Mearakishvili, who was detained in occupied Tskhinvali, has been released and is currently in territory controlled by Georgia.
1/ Journalist and civil activist Tamar Mearakishvili has been placed in two months of pre-trial detention by a court operating under the Tskhinvali occupation regime.

This is what Russia is - disgusting.
Deliberately bombing a theatre with a "children" sign in front, murdering hundreds of people inside, literally celebrating on their graves afterwards, and then blaming it on the victims is a typically russian thing to do.
This post desperately requires a community note.

This is a very clear case of political persecution. This is happening just for propaganda, and it is terrible. The Georgian people demand a free and fair court and justice system FOR EVERYONE!
The former defence minister of Georgia, Bacho Akhalaia, was given imprisonment as a preventive measure.
1/ According to the State Security Service of Georgia (SSG), former Defence Minister Bacho Akhalaia was arrested today. The agency claims that Akhalaia was the “main organiser” of the 4 October rally.

Former boxer Giorgi Kandelaki, who was arrested on September 17 along with 6 other individuals for counterfeiting alcoholic beverages, was released today on bail of 200K GEL. Under GD, Georgia is a country where criminals are free, while innocent people are imprisoned for years.

In Sept 2021, someone leaked the “SSG files”, thousands of recordings revealing total surveillance of clergy, down to trivial conversations and private lives. I appeared twice, simply for calling bishops as a journalist. The SSG chief at the time was Grigol Liluashvili, now arrested for bribery.
He was once a powerful man. Now he has been arrested by the regime, much like during the era of Stalin.
The Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia has arrested Grigol Liluashvili, the former head of the State Security Service of Georgia, on charges of bribery.
