It’s a few minutes past midnight in Tbilisi and Easter Sunday. The capital is more quiet than usual because of the holiday, but thousands of people have still gathered in front of the Parliament, peacefully protesting with candles in their hands. #Tbilisi #TbilisiProtests

Thousands of protesters have gathered in front of the Parliament in Tbilisi. They plan to stay all night. Most of them have brought safety goggles and masks - they are not going anywhere. The determination of these young people is truly remarkable! #Tbilisi #TbilisiProtests

Tbilisi right now. Tens thousands of people have gathered in front of the parliament to protest against the Foreign Agent-bill, which was voted through in the third reading today. It’s one of the biggest protests to date, and people keep pouring in. #TbilisiProtests

Today, I vetoed the Russian law. This law, in its essence and spirit, is fundamentally Russian, contradicting our constitution and all European standards. It thus represents an obstacle to our European path. This law must be repealed!

Tens of thousands of Georgians are marching towards Vake park, just like they did on May 26th in 1919, after the Russian invasion. 105 years later, the Georgians are yet again fighting for their independence. Happy Independence Day! 🇬🇪 #tbilisiprotests

Today the presidential veto was overridden by the Georgian Parliament, as expected. The controversial “Russian law” is formally passed, for now. The Georgians keep protesting in front of the Parliament as they have done since the beginning of April. #tbilisi #tbilisiprotests
