It’s news to us as well. We just learned.

Hungarians remember 1956. Russians, go home!

500 days of non-stop, uninterrupted #GeorgiaProtests.

5/ Sadigov has a wife and two daughters.

4/ On April 1, Azerbaijan suddenly withdrew its extradition request.

On April 4, around midnight, Georgian police detained Sadigov at his home on administrative charges. By early morning, he had been forcibly expelled from the country.

3/ On Feb 28, 2025, the ECHR prohibited his extradition to Azerbaijan. He was released in April 2025 and became an active participant in #GeorgiaProtests. At one rally, he burned a photo of Bidzina Ivanishvili. He was repeatedly detained on administrative charges.

2/ Sadigov was detained in Tbilisi in August 2024. A Georgian court placed him in extradition detention. The independent journalist warned that he could be killed if returned to Azerbaijan. In protest, he went on a hunger strike that lasted for months.

BREAKING: Georgia has forcibly expelled Azerbaijani journalist Afghan Sadigov to Azerbaijan, despite a binding ruling by the European Court of Human Rights prohibiting his transfer.

10/ Shervashidze and Toshkhua were arrested on August 16, following weeks of Gotsiridze posting videos online mocking and threatened the protesters.

9/ Despite footage showing protesters actually returning Gotsiridze’s dropped keys to him as he left, the state insists 20 people "swarmed" him for group violence.

8/ The defense lawyer highlighted the rarity of a case where the victim and the defense agree that no crime occurred, yet the prosecution continued to push for a conviction.

7/ He characterized the incident as a "human fight," admitted to swinging his own hand, and said he was not against their release.

Gotsiridze passed away in February.

6/ In a surprising turn, in December the "victim" Beka Gotsiridze testified that he "did not experience any extraordinary or pain" and stated he has no claims against the defendants.

5/ Although the prosecutor admitted Gotsiridze was fined for carrying the weapon in a crowded area, she argued that because he didn't use it, the defendants' actions still constituted an unprovoked group attack.

4/ During the scuffle, a large knife fell out of Gotsiridze’s pocket, which protesters picked up and handed over to the police.

3/ While the prosecution claims "group violence," the video reveals Gotsiridze bumping into Toshkhua and swinging a hand at another witness before the physical scuffle escalated.

2/ Silent 112 camera footage from July 31, 2025, shows Gotsiridze walking through a sparse crowd of protesters and initiating a verbal confrontation with Shervashidze.

1/ Judge Elene Goguadze has sentenced Mindia Shervashidze and Tornike Toshkhua to one year in prison for an incident occurring during #GeorgiaProtests in July. The case involves allegations of group violence against Beka Gotsiridze, a former footballer and vocal regime supporter.

Just in: Democratic political party Droa leader Elene Khoshtaria has been sentenced to 1.5 years in prison for writing “russian” on a GD mayoral campaign banner, in solidarity with a student arrested on the same charges.

She was initially detained in September 2025.

Nika Gvaramia, opposition leader and chair of the Coalition for Changes was released today after spending eight months in prison for refusing to appear before a parliamentary commission.

You can’t make this up: on the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, Tbilisi City Hall lit up the TV tower in the colors of the Iranian flag.

Let’s talk about tone-deafness.

This is, quite frankly, the first time in years that GD has backed down on anything. 2/2

Just in: Following mass and unprecedented protests from academia, Georgian Dream has decided to retract its decision to merge Tbilisi State University and Georgian Technical University, the country’s two oldest state universities. 1/
