🚨🇬🇪 This is my friend - Beka Korshia, one of Georgia’s brightest minds, an exceptionally talented television host, who has exposed government’s corruption schemes for years. He was reportedly arrested in Tbilisi tonight. His whereabouts and condition unknown. @CPJ_Eurasia

Georgia. "What is plainly alive and flourishing is a sense not simply of outrage, but of hope" excellent take here👇 open.substack.com/pub/newnoteson…


When Georgia’s prime minister denies his own statement suspending EU accession negotiations, and follows a Russian intelligence report script that foreign agents are organising the riots, one is reminded of Pomerantsev’s Nothing is True and Everything is Possible.

Protesters confronted riot police in Georgia and rallied across the country for a fourth straight night last night following the Russia-leaning government’s announcement that it was suspending talks on EU membership. ✍️ @robinfwalker Read more: torto.se/41cVgxm


In which the editor coined ‘Bidniz’ to describe Georgian oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili’s financial motives for control of his country. As in Bidniz, not pleasure.

Georgians want to join the EU, but a pliant government is dragging their country back into Russia’s orbit. ✍️ @robinfwalker Read more: torto.se/48mSres



This is another troubling development for freedom of the press in Georgia. Stephan is a Swiss national, and worked with me earlier this year to document the mass protests against the govt's law on foreign agents.

I tried to enter Georgia (the country, not the state) to photograph the election. I’m an @IFJGlobal accredited journalist. On arrival my passport had clearly been flagged. They took it, I waited for 1.5h and then got paperwork saying I was denied entry and was being deported.

To understand what's at stake in 🇬🇪 Georgia's pivotal election watch my documentary "Georgians: Between European Dream & Russia". It reflects a new generation's fight for freedom while others remain gripped by state and Kremlin propaganda youtu.be/7ghgfjqS48o

Timely piece that doesn’t make for easy reading about the way the wind is blowing in Georgia. And about how the West has wasted money trying to help its government.

NEW: Out today with @newlinesmag, my investigation into Western support for a #GeorgianDream comms unit using troll accounts to attack critics and spread ‘pro-Russian’ disinformation. A 🧵on key findings… 1/11 newlinesmag.com/reportage/nato… #GeorgiaProtests #NoToRussianLaw #Tbilisi



Strange that Georgia's prime minister would choose to follow trolls.

The mass murdering dictator Stalin has been rehabilitated in Russia. Now he's being venerated inside Georgia's Orthodox Church. Go figure... aljazeera.com/news/2024/1/17…
