To make it clear, we call for individual sanctions on Ivanishvili because of his role in the deterioration of the democratic process & its impact on Georgia’s European future

And we urge and expect the release of Nika Gvaramia and the dropping of all politically-motivated trumped up charges against him

The report is also very clear that ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili must be allowed to undergo medical treatment abroad in accordance with Article 283 of the Criminal Code of Georgia

I welcome today’s vote & strong support for the @europarl_en report on Georgia.
The report acknowledges where progress on reforms has been made, but is also clear on the overall negative state of democratic processes and the sources of it

My message during yesterday’s @europarl_en debate on Georgia: As friends of the Georgian people & champions of their European aspirations, we must be honest about the overall negative state of the democratic process, and not waver in our support for Georgia’s democracy

I plead with the Georgian authorities to allow the former president Mikheil Saakashvili to undergo, in accordance with Georgian law, necessary medical treatment abroad to save his life

RT @FormulaGe: Quoting conclusion from @Ombudsman_Geo, MEP @MiriamMLex calls upon the Georgian Gov't to release @SaakashviliM and thus make a step towards depolarization, cited as a key criterion by the EU for Georgia to obtain candidacy status

Nothing but mockery of justice.
RT @holmeschan_: #BREAKING: Hong Kong media tycoon and Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai is jailed for 5 years and 9 months, and fined HK$2 million over a lease violation.

Lai was earlier convicted of fraud after his consultancy firm used office space in breach of lease terms.

RT @lukedepulford: Ludicrous. They will stop at nothing to ensure Jimmy dies in jail, manufacturing charges and imposing extreme sentences. The whole world sees it.

Why are foreign judges legitimising this travesty of justice by continuing to sit on Hong Kong’s courts?

Crimes of Soviet totalitarianism must never be forgotten, not least to ensure that we do not allow such monstrosities happen again.

I sincerely welcome this resolution, and thank you @rjukneviciene for your continued hard work on remembrance of victims of communism!
RT @rjukneviciene: #BREAKING

Next week the @europarl_en will vote on a resolution to recognize the Holodomor as genocide of the Ukrainian people. Finally Europe is waking up to it's moral obligation…
