Since December 2024, the repression of civil servants has intensified significantly, mainly related to their publicly expressed stances. In December, Georgian Dream party initiated and adopted repressive amendments to the Law on “Public Service,” which removed the key legislative guarantee of indefinite appointment for the managerial level employed in civil service and forcibly transferred them to administrative contracts.
The majority of persons detained on February 2nd point to physical violence during and after their arrest, with some noting that violence was carried out inside vehicles. Multiple circumstances and evidence confirm this.
The Media Advocacy Coalition is deeply concerned about the Public Broadcaster’s ongoing violations of constitutional and legislative responsibilities. Under the clear influence of “Georgian Dream,” the broadcaster fails to provide balanced and comprehensive coverage of significant events in the country. This influence is particularly evident in the actions of General Director Tinatin Berdzenishvili and Chairman of the Board of Trustees Vasil Maghlaperidze.
