🧵My former world literature lecturer was arrested near Rustaveli yesterday while sitting in front of the Tbilisi Opera, reading a book after his university lectures.

A car with tinted windows pulled up beside him, and three people got out. One, wearing a face mask, ordered him to come with them without giving any reason or informing him of his rights before what was clearly an unlawful arrest.
He was taken to a police station, where officers began figuring out why he had been arrested. They refused to let him call his lawyer or family, leaving his family searching for him for two hours around midnight.
This is the absurdity of the state terror in Georgia. The regime is systematically arresting and fining people on fabricated charges, using the police as harassers and enforcers of this absurdity. March 2025, Georgia.
