Tamar Kordzaia: The fact that MPs are not allowed to visit Mikheil Saakashvili, and the hearing of our complaint is not scheduled for months, shows that Saakashvili and the opposition are victims of political revenge
THE EUROPEAN FUTURE OF GEORGIA – IT’S IN YOUR HANDS
British Ambassador Gareth Ward - Foreign Influence Law damages NGOs and free media in Georgia - It is disproportionate and stifles free speech, as well as stigmatising those who do good for their communities
