The Russian regime police began the early morning clearance, which is a total manhunt, accompanied by purposeful ambushes, on Rustaveli up till Radisson Blu. Mass beatings, arrests. We see a man thrown down and kicked by multiple policemen. #GeorgiaProtests

This is UNPRECEDENTED. I’ve been attending all protests in #Georgia. There are so many people that a march cannot move forward to the Parliament, it’s just standing. We caught city buses by surprise too and they are stuck. #NoToRussianLaw 🇬🇪🇪🇺

Two have been detained. The regime police concentration was huge. This guy was just randomly taken as he stood on a pedestrian space. When others saw it, they tried to get him back, but the police were ahead of us since it happened at a rather faraway spot. #GeorgiaProtests

Georgian women vs the Russian regime police vol. infinite. A woman was being arrested over her banner saying that heroes are immortal, essentially. Another one tried to protect her, singlehandedly. #GeorgiaProtests

This is very emotional. The brother of Tamaz Ginturi, a Georgian patriot tortured by Russian occupiers last year, is giving out apples to protesters. The apples are likely from his garden in their village. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Crowds in Tbilisi moved from the Parliament to block the Baratashvili Bridge highway. There are occasional Putin Khuylos heard. We want our country back. Our elections have been blatantly stolen.

The embankment is blocked. Protesters are marching towards the Heroes Square - main traffic artery. Can’t stress enough how shocked and proud we are that the blockage is happening amid an unofficial, spontaneous protest. Bus passengers joined. #NoToRussianLaw #Georgia 🇬🇪🇪🇺

JUST IN: the regime detained democratic leader Elene Khoshtaria, one of the very few leaders who were free. Helen Khoshtaria faces criminal prosecution over writing “Russian Dream” on GD Mayor Kaladze’s campaign banner. She did so in solidarity with the student who did the same.

Tbilisi at the moment. It’s the first time ever that a Rustaveli crackdown resulted in an uninterrupted protest as people moved to Tbilisi State University. People brought food, drinks, etc. Everyone realizes that it is now or never for Georgia. #GeorgiaProtests 📷 Samira Bayramova 🇬🇪 🇪🇺 🇺🇸

I don’t know if you can hear the banging of the metal barriers of the Parliament. I don’t think I’ve seen such a tense suspense at any Georgian protest. I couldn’t get any closer, it’s too dense, and that might be why the main assault is delayed. #GeorgiaProtests

Georgians have been waiting for sanctions against Bidzina Ivanishvili for years. For us, it’s a solid demonstration of support from our friends. The American 🇺🇸 anthem was thus played at today’s protest, I think for the first time. Day 30. #GeorgiaProtests 📷 Giorgi Kandelaki

In Batumi, they put Bidzina Ivanishvili’s coffin on fire. Believe me, it takes rage for Georgians to do this. And Ivanishvili is absolutely paranoid about anything in any form resembling cursing or witchcraft. #GeorgiaProtests

One of the episodes of Elene Khoshtaria’s intoxication was recorded on camera as people around her pleaded for an ambulance for her. After crackdowns, Helen Khoshtaria’s health collapsed, she developed multiple illnesses, and doctors thought she was intoxicated / poisoned. Well, turned out she was - with a chemical weapon.

BREAKING: Early this morning, the police detained one of the Coalition 4 Change leaders, leader of Girchi-More Freedom party Zurab Girchi Japaridze. This happened on Tamarashvili Avenue, an entire residential district away from the protests. Japaridze was fleeing together with other protesters as he was grabbed, indicating this was a conscious, targeted move by the regime. The police broke the decades-long gentlemen's agreement of borders of protests and crackdowns and chased the remaining protesters from Rustaveli through Chavchavadze Avenue in entire Vake district and to Tamarashvili Avenue, the beginning of Saburtalo district. Fleeing people were also detained in Rustaveli metro, pulled out from the escalators. Coalition 4 Change 🇬🇪🇪🇺 Girchi•More Freedom Zurab Girchi Japaridze

Amid endless crowds marking the protest New Year’s on Rustaveli, Georgian dancing was performed. These are not mere dances - it reminds people of their roots, the history, the struggle, and merges tradition with modernity. The dances, the traditional polyphonic songs and the supra (feast) also neutralizes the propaganda that features us all as “anti-patriotic gay warmongers.” #GeorgiaProtests #NewElectionsforGeorgia 📷 Salome Barker

Day 75! Tonight was an epic battle of an absolutely determined regime police to prevent us from blocking Rustaveli for the first time with such resolve in the continuous protests, and protesters who zigzagged smartly to quickly show up on the road from slightly distant places and sow chaos, allowing the main mass to take the road. It truly was epic, and it was a celebration of principle. It carried such energy. This is the response to all who thought the Rustaveli protest did not matter. We annoy them, we maintain ground that makes the crisis get deeper. Earlier, several were detained. I wish my battery hadn’t died, I must have depicted it all. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests 📷 PUBLIKA
