Mzia Amaglobeli, a Georgian journalist and founder of independent news outlets, is on hunger strike in prison, facing severe charges amidst protests against government oppression. Captured for her journalistic efforts to expose police violence during ongoing demonstrations, Amaglobeli advocates for freedom and democracy, emphasizing the urgency of fighting against perceived authoritarianism and Russian influence in Georgia. As tensions in the country rise due to disputed elections, she stresses that the movement must persist to ensure a just, European-oriented future free from oppression.
I will not bow to this regime... I will not play by its rules. I am on hunger strike. There is something greater than life itself - it's freedom.
Today, it is me. Tomorrow, it could be anyone who dares to dream of just, democratic, European Georgia - untouched by Russian influence, unshackled by oppression.
Our only tool for fighting is the truth.
It was a provocation. The police were cursing us, humiliating us.
