This is outrageous: Germany is deporting Zelimkhan Khangoshvili's family to Georgia. Khangoshvili, a 🇬🇪 national of Chechen/Kist origin, a CIA-trusted security agent, and a veteran of the II Chechen War, was assassinated in Berlin in 2019 in broad daylight on behalf of Russia. 1/2

Police have arrested Basti Mgaloblishvili, a journalist at @publikage.bsky.social. I saw him last night, he was reporting from the ground, clearly identifiable with a press card.
After 40 minutes of illegal detention in a police car, officers told him they had “mistaken him for someone else.”
