According to a statement from “Lelo-Strong Georgia,” Bidzina Ivanishvili’s regime has moved to a new level of political repression, comparable only to the practices of the Soviet regime.
The statement asserts, “Today’s detentions are clear confirmation of what we have been saying—this so-called government is Russian and follows Putin’s path exactly.”
“The process unfolding in the country today marks a new stage of power usurpation that will ultimately affect every citizen.
The new series of detentions ahead of the European Council’s planned session is a deliberate sabotage of the country, aimed at the complete cancellation of all forms of cooperation with the European Union, which contradicts Georgia’s Constitution and deprives our country of its future.
‘Georgian Dream’ seeks to detain everyone who disagrees with them. Today, the regime’s police are detaining people for expressing protest by blocking streets; tomorrow, they will impose imprisonment for simply voicing an opinion.
This is an attempt to revive the Soviet regime, and ‘Georgian Dream’ supporters still have a chance to wake up. They already have a clear example that, for Ivanishvili, they are just as much a target as other citizens. Ivanishvili and Kobakhidze will try to detain everyone who disagrees with them.
Today’s detentions have once again confirmed that no citizen of Georgia is safe as long as Ivanishvili holds usurped power. This must end!
The political team of ‘Strong Georgia-Lelo’ condemns every instance of the detention of innocent people!
Freedom to political prisoners!” the statement reads.
