In recent years, we have been able to implement various projects with our partner organisation in Georgia, the NGO DEP in Tbilisi. The projects were funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (ÖPR – Programme for the Development of Cooperation with Civil Society in the Eastern Partnership Countries and Russia).
We work successfully and closely with our partner organisation DEP on the projects. The DEP in Tbilisi has now asked us for support in disseminating the following appeal. This appeal is about financial support for activists because of the high fines imposed on them by the Georgian government. These fines were imposed in many cases for the peaceful exercise of civil society rights (including demonstrations in front of the Georgian parliament).
We gladly fulfil this request and publish the appeal here.
