Today marks 22 years since the Rose Revolution - the day that reshaped Georgia for the better and saved the country, at least for my generation. I will be forever grateful and will continue to fight for its values.

I visited Brussels with colleagues from Georgian online media. It was a busy, important, and emotional trip, full of off-the-record meetings about Georgia’s political situation and future.
And It crushes me to see us losing our chance to be part of Europe because of an oligarch.

Today, Nino Datashvili was released on bail. She had difficulty walking and was crying from the pain. Her health condition had worsened in prison, and she now needs two surgeries. This situation could have been prevented, but at least she is no longer in prison.

Under the GD government’s repressive law, dozens were detained for blocking Rustaveli Ave, including 76-year-old Giorgi Vachadze. Judge Koba Chagunava gave him a verbal reprimand; a second violation could lead to criminal prosecution.

1/ So, if you are standing on the sidewalk on Rustaveli, you most likely won’t be arrested, but on your way home, the police will search you to see if you have a face mask, including medical masks, that could be used to cover your face.

I wrote an article about Nino Datashvili, a teacher and protest participant unlawfully imprisoned by GD. While her story is familiar to Georgians, I wanted to bring the information together for international readers interested in developments in Georgia.

TV Imedi spreads propaganda, lies, and hate, and they don’t even want to hear whistles during demonstrations they are discrediting. Imedi is not a media outlet - it’s a Russian propaganda machine.
