🧵In #Georgia you can go to sleep in your own house and wake up in Russian controlled territory. That's the reality of Russian #occupation and #borderization. Monthly 5-10 Georgians are kidnapped and unlawfully arrested by Russian-backed de facto authorities . 
At the age of 80, one morning famous Data papa woke up and realized that the wire was going through his house. He had to decide where to stay in his home where he lived for his whole life or leave. He stayed with his wife and a year ago, at the age of 88 he passed away.
#Borderization: Occupiers continue marking and expanding their controlled territories. Huge amount of Georgian territories were annexed, which affect civilians living in the area. Borderization separates them from their farmlands, family, livelihoods and critical infrastructure.
#Kidnapping:At least 1000 citizens were kidnapped during last years. Today,7 people are unlawfully arrested.Mamuka chkhikvadze,military who was fighting in the 🇷🇺-🇬🇪 war in 2008, is now arrested in South Ossetia.Irakli Bebua is sentenced to 9 years in prison in occupied Abkhazia.
🇷🇺 forces actively kidnap Georgian citizens from both Georgian controlled and not controlled territories.Their system is the following:if they arrest 3 people-they get a bonus and after arresting 5, they get a week long vacation. Sometimes they fine Georgians with 800 lari (250$)
They physically abuse Georgians. Sometimes they just enter Geo controlled territories, shoot someone and go back. Eldar Gundiashvili was one of them. He was beaten severely. There are 20 Russian military bases in occupied #Tskhinvali region, 30 in the occupied #Abkhazia.
