The European Parliament this week will consider the draft resolution with a proposal to impose individual sanctions against the ex-Prime Minister of Georgia Bidzina Ivanishvili and some Georgian judges, reports News-Georgia.
According to information, the resolution was proposed by the largest faction of the European Parliament – the conservative European People’s Party (UNP). It concerns violation of the freedom of the media and the safety of journalists in Georgia. The faction also called for the release from prison ex-president of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili so that he could undergo treatment abroad. The text of the draft resolution before the vote scheduled for Thursday, June 9, can be changed on the initiative of other parties presented in the European Parliament.
