✊ Yesterday actions in support of ex-president of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili were held all over the world.
Initiated by lawyer Mark Feygin and adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovich, pickets and meetings with the slogan "Let's save Misha!" held in dozens of countries. Actions were held around the world near the consulates of Georgia, numbering from 3 to 1000 people. The largest number of participants who demanded the release or transfer of the politician to another country for treatment, as expected, were held in Tbilisi and Batumi. Many people gathered in Odessa, where Saakashvili was the governor.

🇬🇪❤️🥘 A great reason to visit a winter fairy tale: the Gemo Fest festival in Svaneti.
On January 13 and 14, within two days, Mestia will become the center of attraction for the entire region and country. Svan, Georgian and even Ukrainian cuisine.
I'm already drooling over it, to be honest...
🎧 A variety of music and performers are waiting for guests (popular Bedford Falls will perform on the 13th, and Circus Mircus will be on the 14th).
🏔 Mountains, ancient towers and a great mood for all festival participants will be a great bonus. The weather is also good, the long-awaited snow is expected this week (up to 20 cm). The cable cars on Hatsvali are working, which means that everyone can be provided with a dizzying view from above.
ℹ️ Festival page with announcements and schedule: https://www.facebook.com/GemoFest
📌How to get there:
- local airline Vanilla Sky (they have added flights)
- by train or bus to Zugdidi and then 2-3 hours by minibus
