“The UK calls on the government of Georgia to take immediate steps to prevent the unlawful intimidation of protestors, and to investigate all rights abuses,” the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Georgia issued a statement.

“The UK calls on the government of Georgia to take immediate steps to prevent the unlawful intimidation of protestors, and to investigate all rights abuses. Practices such as threatening phone calls, unlawful detention, beatings and personalised posters portraying civil society members as traitor have no place in a democratic society. The UK will continue to stand with Georgia to support its democracy and Euro-Atlantic aspirations,” the UK Embassy stated.
