**Georgian Citizens Unite Against Government**
A group called “Gakharia for Georgia” has released a statement saying that the country’s government is using violence and hostage-taking against its own people. The party claims that this shows how serious the protests are, and how much the government wants to silence them.
The statement says that the government is trying to stop the protests by making laws against free speech and punishing people who speak out. Many people have been arrested and could face up to four years in prison. However, the Georgian people are not giving up and are determined to fight for their rights.
The party’s message is one of unity and solidarity. They believe that together, they can bring justice and peace back to the country. The statement concludes by calling for freedom for all political prisoners.
