The Georgian chargé d’affaires has been summoned to the UK Foreign Office, which has expressed its protest over official Tbilisi policy.

During a meeting with the Georgian chargé d’affaires, Giorgi (Bacho) Saganelidze, the British Foreign Office representative “clearly expressed the UK’s strong disagreement” with Georgia’s “destructive trajectory” and protested the Georgian government’s “false accusations and public attacks” on its partners, including Britain.

“The arrest of prominent opposition leaders is yet another attempt by the Georgian government to restrict freedoms and suppress dissent. The arrest of election competitors is incompatible with the Euro-Atlantic aspirations of the Georgian Dream, as well as its constitutional obligations,” the statement said.
