< img src = "/uploads/blogs/6e/1d/ib-1il62ui0h_924EC50F.jpg" Alt = "Terror pressure journalists: How Georgia's power fights with freedom"/> ~ ~ ~ < p > “Fight until it is too late!” & ndash; Such a message in mid -January sent with B & Rsquo; Visnytsia Famous Georgian Journalist Mri Amaglobeli, starting a hunger strike.
< P > The founder in 2001 Netgazeti and Batumelebi news portals, Mri Amaglobeli is considered a pioneer of free press in Georgia. And she & ndash; one of more than 50 V & rsquo; the prisoners of conscience who are waiting for court in Georgian prisons from late November last year.
< p >In October 2024, the Georgian Dream & Amp; Ndash; the party, headed by the oligarch (IM & rsquo; I intentionally not mentioned), & ndash; seized power through mass falsifications in elections to continue its one -party government and strengthen the SWP; Rsquo; Rsquo; < p > The only obstacle to this was the civil community & ndash; enlightened, bold, devoted to their country and freedom people who require a return of their votes and insist on new elections.
< p > No concessions have been done.
< P > On the contrary, “Georgian Dream” continues to cooperate with the autocrats of the world & ndash; The only one who officially recognized this government. Authorism is rapidly fixed.
< p >Thus, the state not only betrays its own citizens who seek the European future, but also rejects reforms and years < p > Mzi Amaglobeli called the main cause of her hunger strike: she refuses to “go on a day -regime” & ndash; And this is a good expression for what is now even in the West a “Georgian nightmare”.
< p > “Freedom in & Rsquo; mode of regime!” & ndash; Protesters are chanting, who have been going on the streets for almost 90 days, inventing new methods of resistance and raising new protests. They have no choice! The pursuit of terror that is ned & rsquo; the “Georgian Dream” leaves no alternatives.
< p >< Br /> Mzi Amaglobeli & ndash; one of the main symbols of the struggle. Her story began with a sticker calling for a strike, continued with a slight slap of the police chief, and after the hunger strike on the 38th day she can end with a seven-year prison in & Rsquo; rsquo;
~ ~ ~ ~< P > According to laws of lawlessness, its fate is defined in advance: it is punished for unwavering devotion to the free press.
< p > years of the rule of “Georgian Dream” allowed her to fully subjugate the judicial system, and the judges now simply stamped illegal charges.
< p > In addition, police pursue activists and journalists, as in the case of Mzia & ndash; It is not only verbal humiliation but also physical violence that remains unpunished.
< p > Another flashy case & ndash; The beating of a journalist Guram Rogawa, who was on a live broadcast during a brutal acceleration of a peaceful demonstration. He miraculously survived.
< p >Or the history of Vasyli Ivanova journalist, a host of public broadcaster. He not only expressed his solidarity with Mzia Amaglobel, but also dared openly to conflict with the leadership of the TV channel. As a result it was removed from work.
< p > “No justice & ndash; no peace!”
< p > & ndash; The moon is given a female voice to the megaphone, and thousands of protesters are repeated behind it. Their flow & ndash; Together with the drum accompaniment & ndash; Every night begins near a public broadcaster building where they require the right to vote for the people.
< p > “Away with an oligarchy into a fire!” & ndash; shouts shout. They have not stopped going outside for several months. “We are not stopped! The stream of the people goes from the heart!” & ndash; This call inspires those who are gathering before Parliament in Tbilisi, embodying unbreakable resistance.
< p > from November 28, 2024 & ndash; After the current government has officially frozen partnership with the EU, & ndash; The protests last continuously.
< p >“Unjust judge, fear people's anger!” & ndash; Protesters exclaim.
< p > Is it too late to ignite a wave of justice ?
< P > You can wake up from a nightmare but how to avoid catastrophe ?0 ~/p > < P >< Br /> ask who and when this moment sleep, too late. The propaganda fairy tale of the Georgian Dream with its false actors and conspiracy theories has caught not only the EU and the United States politicians, but also 40% of the Georgian population & ndash; though for various reasons.
< p > Opposition failed in the fight against this information war, especially in one direction: “Georgian Dream” skillfully uses panic, intimidating people by the prospect of the so -called “second front”.
~ ~ ~ < p > and the free press is still living. Channels Mtavari, Formula Ge, Publika, Civil.ge and others continue speech despite repression and political pressure.
< p >The last numbers speak for themselves.
< p > for example, 18 million lari (UAH 266 million) & ndash; the amount of fines imposed on peaceful protesters.
< P > The standard penalty for locking the road has grown to 5 thousand lari (about 74 thousand UAH) & ndash; This is 19 times more than the subsistence minimum in Georgia.
< P > According to the Georgian Charter of Journalistic Ethics,
< p > 13 journalists received such penalties simply for their work.< p > searches, falsification of evidence and other forms of persecution have become everyday.
< p > Georgia & ndash; Country of geopolitical importance. “They won't leave us!” & ndash; hope one.
< p > Georgia & ndash; people hardened by trials. & nbsp; < em > “We are not intimidated!” & nbsp; & ndash; declare others.
< p > Georgia & ndash; God is chosen. & Amp; nbsp; < em > “Miracle will save us!” & nbsp; & ndash; They believe in others.
< p > But as long as the current government boasts its “prediction of the future”, the country through an alliance with Russia by force is drawn into the past.
< P > The cynicism of power is reminiscent of Stalin's repression. And today, instead of punishment of the perpetrators, pursue journalists.
< p > February 24 searched the house of sports correspondent Sandro Tsnobiladze. “Colleagues Pow & Rsquo; they are involved in protests”, & ndash; reports IPN.
< p > A on the streets again calls: & nbsp; < strng > “where there is no justice & ndash; no peace!”
