We are troubled by reports that prosecutors appointed by Georgian Dream are reopening old legal cases against the party’s opponents, - reads a letter sent by 4 US Congressmen - Adam Kinzinger, Gerry Connolly, Michael McCaul and Eliot Engel – to the Georgian PM.
According to the Congressmen, some of the cases are perceived as targeting leading opposition political leaders, news operators, international corporations, and civil society members.
“We are troubled by reports that prosecutors appointed by Georgian Dream are reopening old legal cases against the party’s opponents. While some of these cases may have merits, others are perceived as targeting leading opposition political leaders, news operators, international corporations, and civil society members. Respect for the rule of law and an impartial justice system are key to a healthy democracy and to ensuring free and fair elections, which were guaranteed by your party”, reads the letter.
