**Group Calls for Sanctions and Fair Elections in Georgia**
A group called the “Friends of Georgia” has spoken out against the government in Georgia. They are made up of politicians from the US and Europe, as well as former diplomats and experts.
The Friends of Georgia say that the recent elections in Georgia were not fair. They claim that the government, led by the Georgian Dream party, ignored concerns about the election and then responded to protests with violence.
The group is calling for “unified sanctions” against the Georgian Dream officials who they say are undermining democracy in Georgia. They also want the international community to demand free and fair elections.
The statement says: “The Georgian people demand free and fair elections, and we must stand with them.” Many politicians and experts have signed this statement, showing their support for the people of Georgia.
