The Georgian Parliament should reject the ‘foreign agents’ bill. The authorities should also investigate allegations of police brutality against journalists and hold those responsible accountable – CPJ
“Georgian authorities’ revival of a bill that would smear media outlets as foreign-controlled is deeply concerning and utterly incompatible with their claim of aligning with European democratic standards” – CPJ
“German and Georgian authorities should treat these allegations with the utmost seriousness and do all they can to safeguard the lives of journalists living in exile” – CPJ
