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.
