Georgian Dream Tries to Stop Protests with New Laws
The Georgian government is trying to stop protests by making new laws that restrict people’s freedom to assemble and express themselves. This is according to a statement from the Georgian Young Lawyers Association (GYLA).
The GYLA says that these new amendments are too vague and can be used against protest organizers and activists. They claim that this will lead to unfair legal trouble for those who want to hold assemblies.
New Laws Weaken Freedom of Assembly
The GYLA also points out that the way these laws were made is not fair. The government is rushing through the process, which means that there won’t be enough time for discussion and public input. This is a problem because it undermines the principles of the rule of law and legal security.
In December 2024, similar amendments were made in an even faster manner, restricting assembly and expression. Now, the GYLA is warning that these new laws will have serious consequences if they are passed without proper discussion and consideration.
