For over three months, Georgians have been protesting in the streets of Tbilisi and other major Georgian cities, demanding democracy and human rights. Protests erupted across Georgia after Georgian Dream (the ruling party), announced its decision to halt the country's European integration efforts. The pro-Russian government passed laws to suppress free expression in Georgia, placing the cultural sector under immense pressure, as the government attempts to silence artistic expression and free speech, unjustly imprisoning activists, journalists and artists who fight for European values.
Georgians have faced:
Government Crackdown Rigged Elections Violent attacks on peaceful protesters Journalists assaulted while reporting Mass arrests and denial of fair trials New repressive laws restricting fundamental freedom in the arts
