ALDE resolution: We call on the EU, European states, and partner countries to impose asset freezes and travel restrictions against Ivanishvili, decision-makers, and enablers of repression

The ALDE resolution - "Protecting political pluralism and ending political repression in Georgia" - calls on the EU, European states, and partner countries to "impose coordinated asset freezes and travel restrictions against Ivanishvili, responsible decision-makers, and legally sanctionable enablers of repression."

Also, "in the event of a failure to reach an EU-wide agreement, coordinated national measures should be adopted."

"Normalization [of relations] should be conditioned on measurable democratic progress, the release of prisoners, and an electoral resolution; human rights and security ties should be maintained.

Support independent journalism, legal defense, the documentation of abuse of force, and civic participation, including among those in exile; ensure the monitoring of court trials and detentions; publicly counter obstruction.

Maintain visa-free travel for citizens, educational and personal ties, and Georgia's European future with democracy and the rule of law, sovereignty, and territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders.

We pledge to:

Maintain the participation of Georgian member parties in ALDE despite domestic political bans.

Coordinate through the Bureau with Georgian members and Renew Europe on political prisoners, trial monitoring, and sanctions; publish a report within three months and mobilize liberal officials," states the document, the text of which was distributed by "Droa."
