**Civil Servants Dismissed in Georgia**
The International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy (ISFED) has spoken out against the dismissal of over 50 civil servants in Georgia. According to ISFED, these dismissals are politically motivated.
Most of those affected had publicly supported Georgia’s integration with the European Union. ISFED warns that this is a sign of political persecution and discrimination.
**New Law Allows for Easier Firing**
ISFED says that the recent changes to the law on public service have made it easier for the government to fire civil servants. The organization claims that this law gives too much power to the Georgian Dream party, undermining the independence of civil institutions.
**International Labor Conventions Violated**
Critics argue that the new law violates international labor conventions and allows for political interference in the civil service. This can lead to a loss of protection for workers.
**ISFED Plans to Take Action**
In response to these dismissals, ISFED plans to file a lawsuit to protect the rights of those affected. The organization believes that this is necessary to safeguard the labor rights of civil servants who have been unfairly dismissed.
