This is great news. Great news for the Jerusalem Quartet, great news for the live audience, great news for lovers of freedom and haters of unjust prejudice. Well done to Danny Driver דני דרייבר and Mahan Esfahani ماهان اصفهانی 👏 🎹

History is being written before our eyes.
Georgia is blessed to have friends like Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹, Margus Tsahkna, Þórdís Kolbrún Reykfjörð Gylfadóttir🇮🇸 and Baiba Braže who just joined protesters on Rustaveli to make it clear that Georgia is not alone, Georgia is Europe 🇬🇪🇪🇺
🇫🇷deplores the adoption of the bill on foreign influence which targets 🇬🇪civil society and independent media.
🇫🇷stand with 🇬🇪on its 🇪🇺path, the only one the 🇬🇪people wishes for.

In #Batumi , thousands of protesters are marching against the #RussianLaw . This turnout at the protest rally is unprecedented in the past 20 years for this #BlackSea coast city, which is a summer tourist destination.

#Georgia majority jeopardizes country’s 🇪🇺future. Why? We will address this PACE Standing Committee in Vilnius.
Today 🇬🇪 parliament passed Russian-type “foreign agents” bill amidst mass protests, reported police violence & despite alerts from Council of Europe
