In recent years, the people of Georgia have flooded the streets, standing up against police brutality and the brutal crackdown on peaceful protests. They are determined to pursue a democratic future, yet their government is blocking that path. Instead of moving towards democracy, the government is adopting Russian-style laws that curtail freedom.
On October 26, Georgia held its parliamentary elections. The ruling party claims victory, but the civil society of Georgia, including election observers, has clearly stated that the results do not reflect the true will of the people. Widespread violations were reported, both before and during election day.
I stand with the people of Georgia in their call for a full investigation and for new, truly free and fair elections.
The world must pay attention. The people of Georgia deserve to have their voices heard. They deserve the chance to choose their future. This is not just their fight; it is the fight of every person who believes in freedom, equality, and justice. And we must stand with them.
