**Motion to Impose Sanctions on Georgian Leader**
A motion has been submitted to the UK House of Commons calling for sanctions against Bidzina Ivanishvili, the founder and honorary chairman of Georgia’s ruling party. The motion expresses concern about the country’s suspension from EU accession talks and increased violence against peaceful protesters.
The document condemns Ivanishvili’s role in undermining democracy and allowing Russian influence in Georgia. It also notes that the US has already imposed sanctions on him. The UK House of Commons is being asked to follow suit, demonstrating a strong stance against democratic backsliding.
The motion was submitted on January 13 and has been signed by 13 members so far. It calls for a review of the UK’s partnership with Georgia and closer cooperation with EU partners to counter Russian interference. The motion reaffirms support for the Georgian people’s democratic aspirations.
