"In this worst conclusion in the history of Georgia, and we cannot say that we have collapsed in all areas of the country and that things cannot go on like this and must be changed," said UNM leader Nika Melia. who reacted to the U.S. State Department report.
According to Melia, only the Georgian people can change the difficult situation reflected in the partner country's report by removing the Georgian Dream from power.
"Each of these 85 pages shows the plight of our country, each page shows how the dream separates us from the civilized world, each page shows how our homeland's prospects are diminishing with each passing moment. Every one of these 85 pages tells us that such a continuation is out of the question and that the 'Georgian Dream' Road is leading to the historic demise of our country," said Nika Melia, listing the points the office emphasizes:
"The report says there is a political police force, the SSG, that illegally wiretaps politicians, businessmen, journalists, diplomats and clergymen; The report says there are political prisoners and political persecutions in Georgia, Saakashvili, Gvaramia, Japaridze and Khazaradze, Tsereteli, Kezerashvili and Melia. Their prosecution is not about justice and fairness, but about their political position. Whether it will be membership in an opposition political party or ownership of an opposition media outlet; Finally, an entire chapter on torture and inhumane treatment is virtually dedicated to the country's third president, Saakashvili, and the cancellation of the state inspector's office in connection with the torture investigation against him," Melia said.
The report also talks about the court clan:
"Yeah, this is real, in the assessment of the state department, the word clan is used. The report says that the government does not punish guilty government supporters, but instead reaches against citizens with different political views," Melia said.
Political justice, a full wiretapping of citizens and the abolition of democratic institutions - Ivanishvili's team received heavy messages from our key strategic partner. In a 2021 human rights document, the U.S. State Department details Georgia's dire legal situation and cites specific examples of violations.
The extensive report prepared by a key strategic partner devotes a separate chapter to the imprisonment of the third president, stating that Mikheil Saakashvili is a victim of inhuman and degrading treatment in prison.
