On Day 385 of continuous #GeorgiaProtests 🇬🇪, we find locals singing a tribute to a stalwart protester, Mariam Pirashvili, who was clearly moved by it. You’d never guess that this is banned now!

2/ We were not able to meet our goal the last time we asked. However, we still managed to finish three out of four investigations. One had to be postponed until January. Please consider donating, as we do not often ask for support.

It is Day 383 of continuous #GeorgiaProtests 🇬🇪, and they did march through Tbilisi and elsewhere in defiance of the new ban on protesting on both sidewalks and streets, but this video by mountaineer, Bidzina Gujabidze, was too gorgeous to pass up! (via @rusudandjakeli.bsky.social )

Friends, fellas, this time I am trying to fundraise for various motivated groups for some non-violent protest infrastructure, such as banners, sprays, etc.

All this is important for endurance, which is now our only weapon.

Day 381 of protests against the illegitimate regime in Georgia 🇬🇪. Under a new law, this protest is illegal. But it doesn’t phase the marchers, who demand an independent investigation into the use of toxic chemicals against them during last year’s protests.

Today’s march in Georgia focuses on Georgian Dream’s use of a chemical agent during last year’s crackdowns, as revealed by the BBC’s recent investigation.

‼️ On the Day of Land Forces in Ukraine, President Zelenskyy visited frontline 🇺🇦 units in *Kupiansk*, proudly claimed as “liberated” by Putin himself recently, to receive updates, thank the troops, and present state awards.👇

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊
Putin has claimed Ukrainian defenders in Kupiansk were surrounded by russian troops.
He even invited international media there to verify it.

President Zelenskyy did some mythbusting, visiting the city.

Kupiansk is Ukraine.
