US Senators Express Concern Over Violence in Georgia
Two US senators, Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen, have spoken out against the violence in Georgia. The country has been experiencing unrest since the government decided to suspend its bid for EU membership.
The senators are worried about the treatment of peaceful protesters by the Georgian authorities. They believe that the decision to suspend EU membership was wrong and that the government should be held accountable for its actions.
In a statement, the senators said they stand with the people of Georgia who have a right to protest peacefully. They also reiterated the support of the US Congress for the Georgian people.
The senators called on the State Department to take action against the Georgian government. They want the department to make it clear that using force against peaceful protesters is not acceptable.
The statement was issued as the situation in Georgia continues to deteriorate. The senators believe that the US should use all available tools, including sanctions, to remind the Georgian government that its actions have consequences.
The Biden Administration has already suspended a strategic partnership with Georgia, but the senators want more action from the US government.
The situation in Georgia is becoming increasingly tense, and the international community is watching closely. The US senators are urging their government to take a stronger stance against the violence and support for freedom and democracy in Georgia.
