Ana Tsitlidze: As many times as the struggle requires, I will walk the same path - against the illegitimate Russian-aligned "Georgian Dream" forces that have seized the state
“Whatever the Russian-aligned ‘Georgian Dream’ forces or skeptics may say, October 4 was a day of struggle, resistance, and unity of the Georgian people - freedom for political prisoners!” Ana Tsitlidze, one of the leaders of the United National Movement, writes on social media, commenting on the events of October 4 last year.
According to her, “as many times as the struggle requires, I will walk the same path - against the illegitimate Russian-aligned ‘Georgian Dream’ forces that have seized the state.”
“Whatever the Russian-aligned ‘Georgian Dream’ forces or skeptics may say, October 4 was a day of struggle, resistance, and unity of the Georgian people.
As many times as the struggle requires, I will walk the same path - against the illegitimate Russian-aligned ‘Georgian Dream’ forces that have seized the state.
‘When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes a duty.’
Unyielding resistance, getting back up after every fall, and continuing the struggle will inevitably lead to victory.
Freedom for political prisoners!” Ana Tsitlidze writes on social media.
On October 4, in parallel with the local elections, the movement “Rustaveli Avenue” organized a protest rally called the “People’s Assembly.” Citizens initially gathered at Freedom Square. Following a speech by one of the organizers, Murtaz Zodelava, who addressed those gathered saying, “Today, masculine force will begin to act - we will move toward Baratashvili with masculine force and take the keys to the Presidential Palace; this will be the first step,” some of the protesters moved along Atoneli Street toward the Presidential Palace.
Several people also broke through the fence surrounding the courtyard of the Atoneli Palace. Chants including “Peaceful Revolution” and “Peaceful Overthrow” were heard at the protest.
Paata Burchuladze and Murtaz Zodelava were arrested, along with National Movement member Irakli Nadiradze, Strategy Builder leader Paata Manjgaladze, and Lasha Beridze. Dozens of other activists were also arrested in connection with the events of October 4.
