The Georgian people have chosen the European path and in response, the European Council granted #Georgia the candidate status last December.
Let me be clear: the draft Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence is not consistent with Georgia’s EU aspiration and its accession trajectory and will bring Georgia further away from the EU and not closer.

It is alarming for the democratic development of #Georgia when civil society members get detained for exercising their right to freedom of expression.
I am Eduard Marikashvili, I am a Human Rights Defender from Georgia and I lead @GeoDemIn. I was illegally arrested in front of the Parliament of Georgia on June 2, 2023, at 11:50 PM. I am charged with hooliganism and disobeying the lawful request of a police officer.

We urge the members of the Parliament of Georgia to respect the freedom of association and expression in the country and not adopt the proposed "Foreign Agent" law.

#Georgia 🇬🇪 sees an increase in #SLAPP cases against media & HRDs recently, by high profile plaintiffs, and they are rushed through at court - often not in favor of defendants. Mari Kapanadze @GeoDemIn makes intervention @ #AntiSLAPPcon! – at Strasbourg, France

Incredible Georgian people who understand that friends must be supported! 🇬🇪🇺🇦 Grateful to everyone in Tbilisi and other cities who came out in support of Ukraine and against the war. Indeed, there are times when citizens are not the Government, but better the Government.

The Public Defender's Office lodged an amicus curiae brief with the Tbilisi City Court on the “Cartographers’ Case,” arguing political or other motivations in the probe outweigh its legal motives.
