A few days ago in Tbilisi, I was attacked by a violent group encouraged by the government. I was physically assaulted at a rally while police stood by, resulting in a concussion and hospitalization. I’m now recovering and continuing my work. Intimidation will not silence the media. 📷 Guram Muradov

Thanks to Salome Zourabichvili and all of you 🤍🫂

On April 9, a photo exhibition of Georgian photographers opened at Freelens Gallery in Hamburg, alongside the book Freedom. The project by 15 photographers reflects recent protests and April 9 events and runs until April 30.

Mariam Kavshbaia is a journalist whose family history spans three generations of women displaced from Abkhazia. The material explores their transition from past trauma to their current resilience and shared labor in Tbilisi. Read the full story of these three women on my Instagram page. Link below.

On January 12, a protest march was held in Tbilisi in support of Mzia Amaglobeli and other citizens arrested for participating in the protests. #freeMziaAmaglobeli #Georgia #Tbilisi

It is a great honor for me to receive this award. I’m glad that the voice of independent online media is still being heard in Georgia. Thank you for your support.

For the past 3 days, the police have been preventing participants of the continuous protest from blocking the road in front of the Parliament. As a result, yesterday demonstrators drove along the same road in cars decorated with flags, honking their horns for several hours. Photos for Publika.ge

Until now, release from prison, even on bail, was always a moment of joy. But Nino Datashvili’s was unbearably painful: “I can’t even feel joy… I just want to sit. Don’t hug me.. Everything hurts. I’m sorry, and thank you all.” She was tortured for four months. The state can never repay such damage.

"The way you treat us is the way you’ll be treated. This is for Mzia [Amaglobeli]." Tamar Lortkipanidze, detained after climbing onto a police car on October 22. Charged with violence and assault on a police vehicle, causing damage estimated at 3,300 GEL. She faces up to seven years in prison.

Journalists Vakho Sanaia and Keta Tsitskishvili were detained on the pretext of “obstructing traffic.” The court sentenced Sanaia to 6 days of administrative detention and Tsitskishvili to 5 days. This is the reality for journalists in Georgia today. Solidarity with my colleagues.

Georgian Dream’s PR chief held a briefing over Mzia Amaghlobeli’s World Press Freedom Hero award. Still can’t understand why they picked a man whose name is known only to journalists. History has already been written — propaganda can’t rewrite it. Congrats to Mzia on this well-deserved award.

Thank you to The Council of Europe’s Safety of Journalists Platform for continuously monitoring and observing developments in Georgia. Journalists in Georgia are under serious threat in every space. That is why constant observation and response are essential.
