"Citizens of Georgia, where are you? Why aren’t you standing on Rustaveli in thousands and hundreds of thousands? Why do civic activists have to struggle to block Rustaveli? Isn’t this country yours? They’ve rewritten history, claiming Georgia started the war. They say the 'Rose Revolution' was a coup, and that history textbooks need to be changed. They commit state treason live on air. Where are you? We are sitting in prison and enduring it. Not standing on Rustaveli is a crime against the country," writes activist Nino Datashvili, who was detained on charges of attacking a public official, in a social media post.

She notes that being in prison is most unbearable for her because she cannot attend protests.

"Citizens of Georgia, where are you?

Why aren’t you standing on Rustaveli in thousands and hundreds of thousands?

Why do civic activists have to fight to block Rustaveli Avenue?

Isn’t this country yours?

They’ve rewritten history, saying Georgia started the war. They claim the 'Rose Revolution' was a coup and that history textbooks need to be changed.

They commit state treason live on air. Where are you?

We are sitting in prison and enduring it. Not standing on Rustaveli is a crime against the country.

Anton Chechin, who was sentenced to 8.6 years, faces extradition to Russia. This is a tragedy. We must not allow this!

The most unbearable part of being in prison for me is that I cannot go out to Rustaveli.

Please, go out there in my place," writes Nino Datashvili.
