Family purity day was first established ten years ago, marking the day church mobs beat up a nascent pride march in Tbilisi. This year it’s a public holiday. A large crowd marched from parliament to the Holy Trinity Cathedral, built in 2004 with funds from Bidzina Ivanishvili.

Activists, journalists and professors like Gia Japaridze have been beaten by masked thugs in the past week. I asked Gia where he’d be as the foreign agents bill was voted on today - expecting the defiance of seen in the rest of our chat. I got this unexpectedly poignant response

The scene outside parliament as Georgian MPs vote on the foreign agents law- thousands in the streets for days now, protesting what they say is a Russian-inspired clampdown on independent civil society

not enough people talking about the consistently huge turnouts in tbilisi against foreign influence law,

The only mainstream coverage of Gaza that's done its job is Channel 4 News.
Well done Matt Frei for doing such excellent work in this climate.
I hope for the same objectivity in reporting on China when the US gets it war on the rival that hasn't fired a shot in 40 years.
