Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office summons Georgian Chargé d'Affaires - 30 June 2025
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office protests Georgian Dreams crackdown on civil society, independent media and critical voice in Georgia
Today (30 June 2025), the Georgian Chargé d’Affaires was summoned to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, where a senior official made clear the UK’s firm opposition to their country’s increasingly harmful trajectory and strongly objected to false claims and public attacks launched by Georgian Dream against the UK and international partners.
An FCDO Spokesperson said:
“The imprisonment of prominent opposition leaders is the latest attempt by the Georgian government to crack down on freedoms and stifle dissent.
“The detention of election rivals is incompatible with any remaining Euro-Atlantic aspirations held by Georgian Dream as well as their own constitutional commitments.
“The UK Government will not hesitate to consider further action should Georgia not return to respecting and upholding democracy, freedoms, and human rights.”
