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.
❤️🇬🇪 Mzia is a hero
Plans for Monday.
