🇬🇧 supports President Salome Zourabichvili veto of Georgia’s foreign influence legislation. The law is contrary to the Georgian people’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations. I urge the Georgian parliament to heed their allies’ concerns and not overturn the veto and withdraw this legislation.

One year on from the shameful attack on Tbilisi Pride festival on 8 July, the situation for LGBT+ people in Georgia is even more precarious. The UK embassy strongly condemns all attacks on freedom of assembly and expression. LGBT+ rights are human rights. 🏳️🌈🇬🇧🇬🇪 Mark Clayton
