Have you heard about the five brave Georgian opposition activists who decided to risk their health? Yes, you read that right! They are on a hunger strike in front of the parliament building in Tbilisi, fighting against the repression imposed by the current authorities, which they claim are controlled by Moscow. Elena Hoscarontaria, leader of the opposition party Droa, started the hunger strike several days ago, and now four more activists have joined her. It all began as a sign of solidarity with the imprisoned former president Mikheil Saakashvili, but now it has become a full-blown political bombshell.
Imagine this: eight opposition party leaders were arrested in June, and seven of them were sentenced to eight months in prison for allegedly disobeying the demands of a temporary parliamentary investigative commission. Is this democracy or pure political persecution? Former Georgian president Salome Zurabishvili has called on all opposition supporters to gather on June 29 in front of the parliament building to protest against the current authorities.
This situation is explosive and casts a shadow over Georgia’s future. Will the authorities back down, or will the repression get even harsher? The opposition is ready to fight to the end, and we are left watching the drama unfold. If you have an opinion on this madness, feel free to share it — maybe your word can change the course of events!
