Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of the political situation in Georgia.

Democracy in Georgia is under threat, and we are working closely with our European allies to respond to that concern.

Last October, I reiterated my concerns to Georgian Foreign Minister Botchorishvili over democratic backsliding, opposition arrests and attacks on allied Ambassadors.

We urge Georgia’s leadership to reverse repressive legislation, release political prisoners, and return the country to a democratic path.
