The banning of parties by this government is just as illegal as this entirely illegitimate, Russian government itself—this is what Elene Khoshtaria, the imprisoned leader of "Droa," writes on social media in response to "Georgian Dream’s" constitutional lawsuit regarding the banning of three opposition parties.

As Khoshtaria writes, the modern-day Orjonikidzes will never be forgotten.

"The banning of parties by this government is just as illegal as this entirely illegitimate, Russian government. What Bidzina’s slave Papuashvili said today—how he rewrote Georgia’s modern history—is the history of their colony fabricated and invented by the Russians. Georgia will never, ever become a Russian colony. And these modern-day Orjonikidzes will never, ever be forgotten!

To the end!" Khoshtaria writes.

As a reminder, "Georgian Dream" is appealing to the Constitutional Court with a request to ban 3 parties, and the lawsuit demands the declaration as unconstitutional and banning of the following parties: "National Movement," "Coalition for Change," and "Strong Georgia - Lelo."
