**US Speaks Out Against Violence in Georgia**
The US government has strongly condemned the ongoing violence by the “Georgian Dream” party against Georgian citizens. This includes opposition leaders, journalists, and protesters.
According to a statement from the US Embassy in Georgia, these actions are intended to restrict the fundamental freedoms of Georgians. The embassy says this will not bring Georgia closer to joining European and North American countries, which is a goal supported by most Georgians.
The statement reads: “Georgia deserves better.”
