🇬🇪 police units swarmed peaceful protesters, launching an unprovoked crackdown. Officers isolated demonstrators, brutally dragging them away in waves—beating them before shoving them in vans. Among those arrested are opposition leaders Nika Melia, Gigi Ugulava and over a dozen more.

Protesters dedicate a heartfelt anthem to the illegitimate GD government and its loyal riot squad

Day 3: Over 100,000 Georgians defy an illegitimate gov with unyielding resolve. From vibrant cities to quiet towns, they manifest, barricade, and march as one nationwide—undaunted by fines, fabricated charges, beatings, water cannons, and arrests. In 30 years, 🇬🇪 has seen nothing like this

An ocean of people filled Rustaveli Ave, Tbilisi. From every corner of Georgia, people poured in, united in protest. One by one, high-ranking government officials are stepping down and institutions are turning on the gov. Streets echo the voices of hundreds of thousands demanding a new government.

Protesters in Kutaisi share how they feel about the Kremlin-affiliated Oligarch at the helm of their illegitimate and oppressive government. Spoilers: they’re not quite happy with Bidzina Ivanishvili.

Surreal and deeply infuriating: a comparison video shows Georgian youth being violently attacked in the streets for exercising their democratic rights, while the illegitimate Geo political elite feasts at a restaurant, singing the national hymn. A stark display of authoritarianism’s many ugly faces.

4/ The air in Tbilisi feels electric, charged with both defiance and determination. In the cold of November, the temperature is rising rapidly.

The calls for peaceful revolution are growing louder.

3/ This isn’t just any protest. It is a movement supported by a broad cross-section of society. Civil servants, businesses, universities, church clergy, military officers, diplomats—many have openly broken ranks with the government. Even staff from pro-government propaganda outlets are resigning.

2/ No one was spared: women, children, journalists—all targets in this campaign of fear.

1/ Yesterday in Tbilisi, a peaceful protest was met with a brutal and violent crackdown. Over 100 people were arrested, and thousands endured tear gas, water cannons, and savage beatings. Spetsnaz units didn’t stop there—they hunted down people fleeing the protests, terrorizing them in the streets.

Absolutely heartbreaking scenes in Tbilisi: riot police violently crack down on peaceful protesters. Smoke bombs, chemically laced water cannons, beatings, arrests—no tactic is off the table. Yet, the demonstrators persist, chanting "Sa-Kar-tve-lo" (Georgia).
