August 14, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Georgian authorities have not allowed Belarusian actor Alaksandar \u017ddanovi\u010d, aka Malavany\u010d, into the country, human rights activist Raman Ki\u015blak told Pozirk<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u017ddanovi\u010d planned to perform his show \u201cHe Flew and Promised to Return\u201d in Batumi on August 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, he arrived at the Kutaisi airport, only to be denied entry \u201cfor other reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phrase typically conceals the unwillingness of Georgian Dream, the ruling party of the pro-Russian oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili, to allow the opponents of the Russian and Belarusian regimes or the critics of the party itself into the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u017ddanovi\u010d had lived in Georgia for more than two years after fleeing political persecution in Belarus. In the summer of 2024, he moved to Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
