Georgian non-governmental organizations continue their legal fight against the Russian Law. We declare that we will not live by the rules of the Russian Law and will use all domestic and international mechanisms to impede its operation until the law is unconditionally repealed.
For this purpose, we are preparing a lawsuit to be submitted to the Constitutional Court of Georgia and we will address it in the nearest period. The Constitutional Court can act with the powers granted by the Constitution and suspend the operation of the relevant articles of the law. However, we do not consider the Constitutional Court to be the only way for our legal fight. If the Constitutional Court does not act in a timely manner and within the constitutional framework, we will use an alternative legal mechanism. At the same time, we are preparing to submit a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights, which we will address at the appropriate time.
All non-governmental organizations and media can join us and become a participant in this fight.
We will win together.
No to Russian Law! Yes to Europe!

In Georgia, while 2024–2026 is described as a period of significant deterioration in media rights, signs of increased state-led political influence over independent and public-interest media had become visible earlier.
Since 2024, Georgia’s legal and institutional framework has been changing at an unusually rapid pace.
