Tbilissi (Georgia): The Georgian eviction resistance urgently needs our support!

On Tuesday January 23rd, a huge number of people showed up to stop the eviction but also an unexpected amount of cops who were extremely violent against the protestors. 18 people were arrested, two of them are now facing trial and up to 3-6 years in jail. Others have been fined to an average of 2000 GEL (approx. 700 €) which is a lot of money in Georgia.

The eviction on Friday was stopped by our comrades, who had already managed to suspend this eviction in December 2023. [Read More]
