Nona Kurdovanidze claims that under the FARA law adopted by "Georgian Dream," individuals may be subject to email surveillance if the recipient list exceeds two people

Nona Kurdovanidze, the head of the Georgian Young Lawyers' Association (GYLA), has stated that under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) adopted by Georgian Dream, individuals may face surveillance of their email correspondence.

Kurdovanidze explained the implications of the law in a social media post.

*"Here’s what kind of law ‘Georgian Dream’ has passed under the so-called FARA model:

'Any person in Georgia who is an agent of a foreign principal and is required to register under this law must submit two copies of any informational material distributed in accordance with the interests of the foreign principal—whether sent by mail, through international relations or foreign trade channels, or any other means—if it is printed or in a form that implies or can reasonably be expected to be disseminated to two or more people. This must be submitted to the Anti-Corruption Bureau within 48 hours of its distribution.'

This means that a registered entity, including an individual, could be subjected to monitoring of their email correspondence if the email is sent to more than two recipients. Essentially, before sending an email to multiple recipients, a draft of it would have to be submitted in two copies to Razhden Kuprashvili,"* wrote Kurdovanidze.
