According to her friends and family, Tamila was the only voice openly speaking out about abuses and everyday injustices under occupation.
A civil activist, Tamila Mearakishvili has been arrested in Tskhinvali by the occupying de facto regime. She is accused of “espionage” and faces up to 20 years in prison.
Her relatives fear she is being held in inhumane conditions and warn that her life may be in danger. #Georgia
Days after his release, opposition leader Zurab Japaridze is being targeted again. Prosecutors now seek bail over the absurd charge of “assisting hostile foreign activities.” The call came the same day Coalition For Change urged 9 intl bodies to investigate alleged chemical attacks on protesters.
It’s been 7 days since the @BBC ‘s investigative film and Ivanishvilis’ Georgian Dream party still has not told us what chemicals they sprayed on us during the 2024 #GeorgiaProtests
I often say that you can read thousands of books, legal texts, or historical accounts but realizing that dystopia is no longer theoretical but real, is something far more painful.
These allegations must therefore be treated with absolute seriousness. Georgia needs a transparent, independent,scientifically and legally grounded investigation. At this point, international expertise,including the OPCW, is essential. Anything less undermines public trust and our collective future.
Even though I’ve spent years openly saying GD is a non-democratic force and I’ve personally witnessed brutal crackdowns, the idea that a substance with SUCH SEVERE and long-lasting effects might have been deployed against us is not just disturbing, it’s horrifying. And most importantly-it’s a crime
🧵 One day after the BBC investigation was released, I am still shaken as a Georgian, as a civilian, and as a jurist by the findings regarding the alleged use of camite during the recent #GeorgiaProtests in Tbilisi.

BBC reports evidence Ivanishvili’s regime used WWI-era “camite” (Bromobenzyl cyanide) in water-cannons against protesters, causing long-lasting harm. Since April 9, 1989, no chemical weapons had been used on Georgian civilians. If true, a grave crime by Ivanishvili & GD.

Ivanishvili’s regime arrested 26 citizens within a few hours. #TerrorinGeorgia
🇬🇪 In last two days Georgian Dream party arrested 14 protesters and put one of them in “compulsory psychiatric care”. However despite their repression Rustaveli avenue remains blocked.
Today the regime arrested journalist Keta Tsitskishvili for allegedly blocking the road during protest.
Take a look at her expression - Do the regime really think that they can frighten Keta or other brave Georgian people?

The Georgian Dream regime has long relied on laws and violence to silence dissent, but now it’s tightening the grip even further. They went into full-scale campaign mode to erase resistance entirely!

Dear friends, the regime has arrested Gela Khasaia - a member of @CoalitionGEO and a brave man who has protested against GD government for years. Unlike previous detentions, this time he faces criminal charges in a clearly politically motivated case.
