After summoning the members of the observation mission "My Vote" to the Prosecutor's Office, the government continues to exert pressure. Illegal fining of the organization "Civil Movement for Freedom" in Ozurgeti is the continuation of this effort.
On November 4, 2024, the organization placed a banner with the inscription "Russian Dream Stole the Elections" on the balcony of the office in compliance with the law, to protest the electoral violations. On November 5, Ozurgeti Municipal Inspection unjustly fined the organization 1,500 GEL, and on November 7 - 3,000 GEL, due to "improper advertisement placement".
"Civil Movement for Freedom" serves to promote and protect the rights of people living in Guria. As part of the observation mission, they also observed dozens of election violations and protected the votes of ordinary citizens. Now the government is clearly attempting to suppress free speech with these illegal and unjust methods. Despite this, all member organizations of the mission will continue to protect the votes and rights of the Georgian people.
