“Georgia’s future will be shaped not only by decisions made in Tbilisi but also by responses and sustained engagement from the EU, US, and beyond.” @ChachavaKate https://t.co/NKYndE0TRG
1/ I led a communication to the government of #Georgia where, along with six other Special Rapporteurs, we raised concerns about legal reforms that restrict human rights. The amendments affect the Code of Administrative Offenses, the Law on Assemblies and Demonstrations, and the Criminal Code — directly impacting fundamental freedoms. #HumanRights #Georgia
@DamonMacWilson@VP@IRFSummit@NEDemocracy Since 2013, #CDD has worked with faith leaders in Georgia 🇬🇪 to promote dialogue, inclusivity & mutual respect— because democracy thrives when religious freedom is upheld. Truly grateful for @NEDemocracy’s & @DamonMacWilson support in advancing this mission!
@DamonMacWilson@VP@IRFSummit@NEDemocracy An important gathering for advancing religious freedom! #CDD was honored to join @IRFSummit, standing with global advocates to protect fundamental freedoms. Grateful to @NEDemocracy for their unwavering support of religious freedom & strengthening democracy.
Democracy is not just a value—it is a cornerstone of global stability & security. Weakening U.S. support for democracy emboldens authoritarian regimes & undermines freedom worldwide. We call on Congress to uphold its bipartisan commitment to democracy.

🇬🇪Catholicos-Patriarch Ilia II calls for “constructive dialogue” to avoid unrest.
“Georgia is an indivisible part of European civilization. We must build a European-type national state rooted in our centuries-old Christian spiritual & cultural heritage & traditional values.”
🇬🇪Tens of thousands of Georgians are peacefully protesting for a better future. We stand in solidarity with them and join their demand for the immediate release of activists arrested during peaceful protests and subjected to abuse by special forces. #StandWithGeorgia
15 days into 🇬🇪 protests: Around 500 detained; 70% report ill-treatment by police; 80+ hospitalized; 32 face criminal charges. NO officers held accountable for excessive force. Activists face threats, raids & procedural violations. #GeorgiaProtests#HoldTheLine#StandwithGeorgia
Big news for Georgia! 🇬🇪 European parliament issued a resolution calling for:
