The European Union is considering action against Georgia over violence against protesters. According to the statement published on Tuesday, the matter is to be discussed at the meeting of EU foreign ministers next week.
Thousands of people have demonstrated in Georgia every day since the country’s prime minister Irakli Kobakhidze froze the country’s EU negotiations until 2028 the other week. The country’s authorities have used strong violence not only against protesters but also against journalists reporting on the protests.
According to the EU, more than 400 people have been arrested and more than 300 people have been reported to have been subjected to violence or other ill-treatment. According to the EU, all allegations of torture and ill-treatment must be credibly investigated.
