Germany Stands with Human Rights Defenders
The German Ambassador to Georgia, Peter Fischer, recently expressed his support for human rights defenders on the social platform X. He wrote about a meeting at the Human Rights House in Tbilisi where he was briefed on the situation.
Fischer was concerned by what he heard. The accounts of some non-governmental organizations (NGOs) were frozen, and they are being investigated and intimidated. This includes the Human Rights House in Tbilisi that helps protect human rights defenders.
Germany’s Ambassador made it clear that his country will always support human rights defenders. He also mentioned that a poor human rights record is not acceptable for anyone who wants to join the European Union (EU).
