I hear that the Georgian Dream demands USD 35,000 bail to deport him back to Canada instead of rotting him in Georgian jail for possessing his ADHD medication… What a way to extort foreigners. Petition link below

Does anyone else see the resemblance? Is it possible this wasn’t a bad restoration attempt but rather an attempt to alter the likeness to Georgia’s illegitimate GD “prime minister” irakli kobakhidze?

Sounds like a great exchange between Georgia's unwavering advocate Rep. Joe Wilson and Marco Rubio. Please also note that, according to Rubio, the US hopes not just for better relations with Georgia but also for change of behaviour by the Georgian Dream.

According to the Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association (GYLA), in the span of 688 days, the Parliament of Georgia adopted 304 laws in an expedited manner. The fastest descent into a dictatorship, maybe ever (excluding sudden junta revolutions).

New political prisoner in Georgia: activist Gela Khasaiya of Girchi – More Freedom. On Sept 1, 3 strangers asked him to buy beer, then fought each other. Weeks later, one had a broken arm. Gela never argued, but now faces up to 3 yrs. Another case of pre-Oct 4 repression.
