Today, 29 May 2026, the Tbilisi Court of Appeals is scheduled to review TDI's appeal in the precedent-setting case of Margaret (Maggie) Osdoby Katz - a former U.S. Embassy and OSCE official denied entry to Georgia on 12 July 2025 - without an oral hearing.

The situation in Georgia, including for journalists, Georgian and foreign alike, continues to deteriorate.

Media Defence spoke with our human rights lawyer Saba Sutidze about the patterns of repression TDI has been documenting and litigating

[Media Defence @mediadefence]

2 yrs since #Georgia's foreign influence law came into force. Journalists beaten, arrested, denied entry. A new FARA law criminalising cooperation with foreign organisations.

In our latest article, we speak with Lawyer @SabaSutidze of @TDI_Georgia.

The “Georgian Dream”, acting through the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Razden Kuprashvili, has initiated a new stage of repressive enforcement of laws restricting civil society, targeting up to 30 Georgian civil society organizations, including the TDI.

📌April monitoring:
#GD's anti-Western narrative intensified, suggesting that a "global ideology," "foreign force," "global war party," "Deep State," and "liberal fascism" are fighting against 🇬🇪 sovereignty, Orthodox Christianity, and family values. https://t.co/ahLQvVrniX

Check out our February monitoring report.

The ‘Georgian Dream’ manipulates pseudo-religious narratives, presenting itself as a defender of Christianity and traditional values while labeling opponents—as enemies of traditions and religion.

NGOs request from Ivanishvili: ❗️❗️

Special forces officers removed detainees' shoes, leaving many barefoot when taken to medical facilities. They also confiscated detainees' mobile phones, demanding they unlock them

Legal Aid Network: most detainees from December 2 are severely beaten. Some are currently hospitalized with visible bruising and facial injuries. All hospitalized have concussions, multiple contusions, and difficulties with movement and speech. #GeorgiaProtests

[Tolerance&Diversity Institute @TDI_Georgia]

After continuous beating, one victim's raincoat was filled with blood. Upon exiting the minivan, detainees were forced through a corridor of special forces officers who kicked them in the face and back before reaching the patrol car.

NGO legal aid network: On Nov. 28 – Dec 1 – the hotline received information about the detention of over 200 individuals. Among them - minors, women, journalists, cultural sector, NGO members and lawyers. The number is increasing today.

Court proceedings violate fair trial standards: hearings are held late at night without reasonable time. Harsh sanctions, including administrative detention, are imposed. Requests to postpone for case review are often denied.#GeorgiaProtests

[Tolerance&Diversity Institute @TDI_Georgia]

NGO legal aid network: Almost all detainees report brutal treatment, punitive persecution, and violence by police forces. Some still undergo treatment in medical facilities. Sometimes, law enforcement officials refuse to transfer them to medical facilities.
