#Tbilisi: Large crowds are marching through the streets of Tbilisi today. Demonstrators include students, teachers, journalists, artists, and family members of prisoners of conscience, faced with repression, intimidation and total dismantlement of democracy and human rights in the country. Georgia is closing one of the most brutal years in its recent history for civil society and its citizens. Hundreds have been jailed or subjected to torture. Independent and civil media spaces have been systematically shut down. Fundamental freedoms and human rights have been curtailed and dismantled, pushing the country into isolation and cementing its alignment with Russia. This marks Day 395 of the #GeorgiaProtests.

President of Moldova Maia Sandu addressed the nation today: Our sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and European future are in danger. The Kremlin is pouring hundreds of millions of euros into buying hundreds of thousands of votes on both banks of the Dniester and abroad. People are being poisoned every day with lies. Hundreds of people are being paid to provoke unrest, violence and the spread of fear. I address every citizen: we must not allow our country to be handed over to foreign interests. If Russia establishes control over Moldova, this will have immediate and dangerous consequences for our country and the entire region. Every Moldovan will be harmed, regardless of whom they voted for. Europe will stop at our border. European funds will stop at the Prut River. Freedom of movement may disappear. Our land may become a staging ground for infiltration into Odesa Oblast. There will be destabilization in the Transnistrian region. These are their goals and they speak openly about this. Russia is not acting alone. The Kremlin has accomplices in Moldova, people who, from time to time, show they are ready to sell their country for money. They have no homeland; they have only masters. They do not believe in Russia. They do not believe in Europe. They believe only in money. They want a weak Moldova, with a corrupt justice system that will shield them from responsibility for corruption and treason. We lived through the time when those who are now buying votes were in power. Let us remember how much damage they did to our Moldova and how we fought to remove them from power. After so many sacrifices, after so much hardship endured by so many generations, we do not have the right to hand the country again to the corrupt and the traitors. The Kremlin thinks that we can all be bought; that we are too few and cannot resist; that we are not a country but just territory. But Moldova is our home. Our home is not for sale. It stands on the dignity of our people, you are the bulwark of peace and the protectors of our children’s future.

🇬🇪 Massive nationwide protests continue in Georgia. In response to yesterday’s violence by Kakha Kaladze’s titushky against peaceful protesters, journalists, and women outside his campaign office on Rustaveli, massive crowds turned out today. Unlike yesterday, Kaladze’s thugs did not show up. Even though people have identified perpetrators, no one has been held accountable for the violence. Today is Day 286 of #GeorgiaProtests.
