**Georgian Government Accused of Suppressing Protest**
The government is using laws and courts to stop people from protesting. This is according to the Young Lawyers’ Association (GYLA). They say that new rules are being used to punish and scare citizens.
Hundreds of people have already been fined or put in jail for a short time without going to court. Many more are waiting for their trials. GYLA believes this is not fair and is just a way to stop people from speaking out against the government.
The organization thinks that these new rules are being used as a tool for politics. They say that anyone who speaks out against the government is being punished, and the courts are helping to do this.
