Georgia - Protests and police violence
funk, 2025

For months, tens of thousands of people have been protesting in Georgia. They accuse the government of rigging the 2024 parliamentary elections and steering the country closer to Russia. The police and the ruling party are cracking down hard on the protesters. Hundreds of people have been arrested. But the protests continue. Ana Subeliani is a human rights activist who refuses to give up hope. Despite the dangers in the streets, she keeps fighting. We follow Ana during the December demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi.
