**US Senate Supports MEGOBARI Act**
The US Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee has backed a bill that supports Georgia’s efforts to preserve democracy. The MEGOBARI Act is designed to stop the government from cracking down on peaceful protests.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen said the vote sends a clear message to the Georgian people. “We support their efforts to keep democracy alive,” she stated. According to her, the bill includes sanctions for those who try to break up peaceful demonstrations.
The MEGOBARI Act has bipartisan support in Congress. It was introduced by Congressman Joe Wilson last year and aims to help Georgia build a more democratic future.
