Top Questions of the week: Lucy I’m relatively new to Georgia. On 26 May, I had mixed feelings. In the morning, Georgia seemed almost like a theocratic state. But by the evening, seeing thousands of people in the streets calling for freedom, I started to think differently. Which side of Georgia is winning in the end? Giorgi The Gori incident shows that police violence is not about political affiliation. It is widespread and systemic.
