The regime police seals whatever you have with you once you are brought to a detention center.

They sealed GEL 2.55 (90 US cents!) from the detailed 71-year-old IDP from Abkhazia, Aza Chilachava…

Again, truly a “foreign-funded CIA agent”…

The 2nd photo shows Tsomaia’s arrest on Nov 3, 1999, during her protest boycotting the elections.

Social media users have highlighted the parallel:

“There are 26 years between these two photos.
She was arrested on November 3 during Shevardnadze’s time - and now again.”

The first photo shows Tsomaia alongside Zviad Gamsakhurdia, Georgia’s first democratically elected president, and Zviad Kostava, another leader of the national liberation movement.

Back then, Tsomaia was an active supporter of their cause and later led The Party of Zviad the Liberator.

🟥 “Two people from this photo were murdered by Russians -the third was arrested last night.”

Among those detained in last night’s arrests was journalist Leila Tsomaia.
Shortly after the news spread, two photos from her past began circulating online.

The Georgian Parliament has strongly criticised a resolution adopted at the recent Euronest Parliamentary Assembly session in Yerevan, calling it ‘anti-Georgian’ and accusing Armenian lawmakers of undermining Georgia’s government.

Georgian doctor and former detained protester Giorgi Akhobadze has said that he was attacked after leaving the airport in Tbilisi. Akhobadze was previously acquitted of drug charges seen by many as political retribution for taking part in protests.

Summary video of the 341st continuous protest day in Tbilisi. Police continued to put greater efforts on identifying protesters using their phones and bodycams to record them. The stopping of people for checking and identification together with arrests thus continued.

The new EU enlargement progress report has reiterated Georgia's accession road has de facto halted, with Georgia only nominally being an EU candidate (ie similar to Turkey).

Georgia’s radical parties rarely gain traction on their own; in a political landscape dominated by Georgian Dream, they tend to be tolerated, cultivated, or even formed by ruling party, and, when no longer needed, dismantled, suppressed, or reabsorbed.

“I didn't close the road. Not because I’m afraid, but because there are so many members of Droa party who’s in jail, that there needs to be somebody to send them parcels in prison,” - Tata Peradze said. Her sham trial will be on November 4.

Most Georgian Dream ex-officials are now exposed to have embezzled millions.

And it was “NGO transparency” that was the main issue for the prosperity in the country, not to mention that they were all transparent to begin with.

Thinking of those America-hating tankies on X…
