The International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy, Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association and the Transparency International – Georgia condemn physical violence on political grounds that occurred inside the building of Marneuli Gamgeoba.

As observers of the NGOs have reported, today activists of the coalition Georgian Dream invaded offices of Marneuli Gamgeoba, verbally abusing personnel. Regrettably, Deputy Gamgebeli and his driver were subjected to violence. The latter has been taken to the hospital. According to Gamgebeli of Marneuli, he was also subjected to physical violence.

Once more, the NGOs call on political party leaders to put an end to acts of violence perpetrated by activists of the coalition and its supporters on political grounds, endangering a peaceful and fair post-election period.
