MEP Juknevičienė: GD escalates its crackdown on peaceful protesters

Member of the European Parliament Rasa Juknevičienė has criticized the Georgian government, stating that Georgian Dream is escalating repression against peaceful protesters. She made the statement on social media.

According to Juknevičienė, the European Parliament has already outlined how the European Union should respond to the situation.

“Georgian Dream escalates its crackdown on peaceful protesters. Tbilisi City Court froze bank accounts of 7 CSOs under a bogus “sabotage” probe for giving protesters basic protective gear. The European Parliament has set out how the EU should respond. We cannot let Georgia slip into oblivion,” Juknevičienė wrote.

Several NGOs’ bank accounts were frozen as part of an ongoing investigation launched by the Prosecutor’s Office.
