Georgian Opposition Faces Crackdown Amid Protests and International Scrutiny

In Georgia, opposition leader Nika Gvaramia was forcibly removed from his party office by police amid a crackdown on pro-EU protests. The demonstrations erupted after the ruling Georgian Dream party halted the country's EU membership talks, leading to over 330 arrests and accusations of police brutality. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has vowed to hold protest organizers accountable, labeling the protests as "violent actions." The opposition, facing increasing authoritarian measures, is pushing for a general strike, while international criticism mounts over the government's actions.
