Pressure over NGOs

May 28, 2004

Pressure over NGOs

The Liberty Institute has begun warning people about the danger of governmental pressure on the NGO sector. According to statements made by organization representatives, the Kutaisi regional court allowed police to enter the independent teachers’ Trade Union “Solidaroba”, in order to audit its finances. “Solidaroba” receives grants from the Eurasia Foundation.

The Liberty Institute wishes to remind power holders that the government does not have the right to audit independent grant expenses, and that attempts to do so threaten the independent development of the NGO sector.
