“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 buff.ly/EnmGegu

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

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. chng.it/tBDFGJCLfq

Thank you @anitavandenbeld 🇬🇪🤝🇨🇦 for your unwavering support, for standing in solidarity, & for championing our shared values of freedom, human rights, dignity & respect. Your call for the release of detained activists for peaceful protest inspires hope & unity! #HoldTheLine

🇬🇪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

Unbelievable! #GeorgianProtests #StandWithGeorgia

Big news for Georgia! 🇬🇪 European parliament issued a resolution calling for: - Reelections in Georgia under international supervision - International refusal to recognise the results (backed only by Russia's "friends" so far) - Personal sanctions against Ivanishvili&the others

Today in Johannesburg, we received an important award for Ukraine’s entire civil society at the Global Assembly @MoveDemocracy Democracy Courage Tribute Together with Olha Myrovych (@LvivMediaForum) and Tetiana Teren (@PenUkraine). This was a significant opportunity for Ukraine to address an audience from over 100 countries. Here’s a fragment from my speech: «This Tribute is to the resilience and strength of Ukrainian society. Our resilience comes from hope. But not idle hope, waiting for things just to happen. No, hope is action, hope that makes us stand against the aggressor and defend our values. It’s about our people, but also about global humanity. It’s about every human being on earth hoping for the better future. For us this is not a local war. We fight against the aggressor who seeks to rewrite the rules of the world, to destroy the order founded on respect for human rights, freedom, and sovereignty. This is a war that will define not only the future of Ukraine but also that of the entire democratic world» #WM12Assembly @RubrykaEng
