**Protest Planned in Georgia: Citizens Called to Stand Up for Freedom**
A coalition of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) has announced a protest scheduled for June 29 at 8:00 PM on Rustaveli Avenue. The call to action is a response to the country’s current situation, where citizens feel that their freedoms are being threatened.
**”Georgia Can’t Be Silent”**
According to a statement issued by some of these NGOs, “Georgia’s enemy is trying to turn a free country into one big prison.” The group is highlighting the arrests of prominent figures, including politicians from pro-Western parties, journalists, activists, doctors, actors, poets, and teachers. This, they argue, is a sign that the government’s repressions are affecting everyone, and if left unchecked, will ultimately land all Georgians in prison – some as inmates, others as jailers.
**”Our Voice Means Freedom”**
The statement emphasizes that “today, silence is obedience,” but Georgians cannot remain silent. The protesters believe that their collective voice is a declaration of faith in freedom. They are urging citizens to join them on June 29 at 8:00 PM, bringing posters and accompanied by family and friends. This public display of solidarity will demonstrate that Georgians stand together for the country’s future.
**Joining Forces**
The protest is a call to action from the NGOs, who want people to stand with their fellow citizens and stand up for Georgia itself. The statement concludes with a simple yet powerful message: “On Sunday, June 29, at 8:00 PM, come to Rustaveli Avenue, carry a poster, come with your family and friends. Stand with your people! Stand for Georgia!”
