AEJ Belgium, together with international press freedom, journalists and human rights organisations, have raised deep concerns about the reintroduction of the bill on Transparency of Foreign Influence and the sudden rise in violence and other restrictions against Georgia’s journalists reporting on the public protests against the bill.
We reiterate our call for the immediate withdrawal of the bill which threatens the viability of many independent media and we call on the authorities to guarantee the safety of all journalists.
