Georgia is turning into a political circus where opposition leader Giorgi Vasharadze just got slapped with seven months in jail for refusing to testify before a parliamentary commission! And that’s not all – he’s banned from holding public office for the next two years. While the government claims everything is legal, opposition and critics scream that the country is sliding deeper into authoritarianism and drifting away from the West. Three more opposition leaders arrested, and a poet locked up for allegedly attacking a cop during protests. Is this democracy or a show for the gullible? If you think this is normal, it’s time to wake up and comment – is Georgia losing its freedom or just going through “tough political times”? Go ahead, rant, laugh, or share your take!
