"Everyone must understand one thing — with Bidzina Ivanishvili, there can be no retreat, not even for a minute," said Paata Burchuladze, a member of the "Rustaveli Avenue" movement, during Palitra News' program 360 Degrees.

According to Major General Vakhtang Kapanadze, the secret operation carried out by Israel in Iran was highly successful and had been in preparation for a long time.

Ivanishvili’s Soviet-style Georgian regime is imprisoning Nika Gvaramia in yet another attempt to silence the opposition. It reminds me of Belarus, – writes MEP Michael Gahler on his X page.

Nika Gvaramia is the third opposition leader to be imprisoned for rejecting the fake commission of the “Georgian Dream” regime – sanctions on Ivanishvili and his enablers, now! – This is what MEP Rasa Juknevičienė, the European Parliament’s rapporteur on Georgia, wrote on her X page.

PACE rapporteurs on Georgia express deep concern over the “ongoing repression against dissenting political voices” in the country. The statement was released by co-rapporteurs Edite Estrela (Portugal) and Sabina Ćudić (Bosnia and Herzegovina).

"I don’t think there will be a serious escalation. Iran will try to save face, and Israel will accept these rules of the game – this, of course, is a weakening of Iran, and consequently, a weakening of Russia," – said Valeri Chechelashvili, head of geopolitical research at the Center for Strategic Analysis, while discussing Israel’s strike on Iran.

The arrest of Nika Gvaramia by "Georgian Dream" requires a strong response from all 27 EU member states now, as well as a serious discussion on the future framework of EU–Georgia relations at the June Foreign Affairs Council – this is stated in a declaration released by Lithuania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Some biased television channels have presented an incomplete and distorted interpretation of the amendments made to the penitentiary regulations—amendments that were based on the recommendations issued by the Public Defender’s Office—in an attempt to manipulate public opinion. They falsely implied that the practice of full-body undressing during personal searches was widespread until now, according to a statement released by the Special Penitentiary Service.

The 5th President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, stated the following during the “Democratic Future of Georgia” discussion held as part of GLOBSEC 2025:

Sanctions are very important because in a small country like Georgia, sanctions work — this is what Georgia’s 5th President, Salome Zurabishvili, said during the "Democratic Future of Georgia" discussion held within the framework of GLOBSEC 2025.

"Nika Gvaramia himself was ready for this unjust imprisonment, but in such times, the ones who can never be truly prepared are family members—especially the children. This anti-European and anti-national regime must be overthrown! Freedom for Nika! Freedom for all political prisoners! In the end, we will win!" – said Tina Bokuchava, Chair of the United National Movement, in response to the arrest of Nika Gvaramia, leader of the "Coalition for Change."

"Georgia is sinking deeper into autocracy

"I want to tell Mate – you're an amazing guy. We will rise again, we’ll lift each other up, and one day we’ll play that guitar together," – said Rezo Kiknadze, one of the protesters detained during the demonstrations, addressing Mate Devizde, who was convicted of assaulting a police officer, during a court hearing.

“I want to tell Mate: there is no darkness where you will need to search for light, because people like you are the light, and you will illuminate this country! I promise you – you won’t have to stay in prison for that long.”

They mentioned “prisoners of conscience” to Merab Dvalishvili, and he didn’t understand. We were arrested at a rally where we were demanding a European future.

According to lawyer Dimitri Sadzaglishvili, they have information indicating that the judge who made today’s decision in Nika Gvaramia’s case has a criminal record.

This judicial system was created under the previous government.

"If you don’t pay the bail, it means you're deliberately choosing to go to prison – did you break the law? You're refusing to comply with a court ruling? Then prison it is!" – said the Chairman of the Diaspora Affairs Committee, Irakli Zarkua, commenting on the arrest of the "Coalition for Change" leader, Nika Gvaramia.

These people are in the midst of a fight today. They may be technically imprisoned, but they are the true victors in this struggle: Gvaramia, Japaridze, Melia, and Okruashvili, – said the leader of the "Coalition for Change," Elene Khoshtaria, in a statement to journalists following the arrest of Nika Gvaramia.

Nika Gvaramia, leader of the "Coalition for Change," was arrested. Law enforcement officers handcuffed Gvaramia near the Rustavi Penitentiary No. 12, where the opposition politician had gone voluntarily.

Whether it’s an embassy or any other donor, they must publish information about the amount of incoming funds and the projects they are financing. I believe neither the Speaker of Parliament, nor his deputy, nor any member of the political team should have a problem with fulfilling this demand, said the First Vice Speaker of Parliament, Gia Volski, responding to the statement made by the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament regarding the British Embassy.
