US Sanctions Georgian Officials Over Anti-Democratic Actions

Visa restrictions target Georgian Dream party members and law enforcement after controversial 'foreign agent' law passes

The US imposed visa restrictions on dozens of Georgian nationals accused of undermining democracy.
Targets include members of the Georgian Dream party, parliament, law enforcement, and private citizens.
The sanctions follow Georgia's passage of a 'foreign agent' law criticized for curbing media freedom.
Washington warns of additional actions if Georgia's leaders do not reconsider their stance.
The law requires NGOs and media receiving over 20% foreign funding to register as 'foreign agents.'
