“New Righters” ask International Organizations to Provide Protection of Free Media in Georgia

"Media News". The “New Righters”, a Georgian oppositional party, published an appeal where they ask the diplomatic missions accredited in Georgia, the NATO, EU, the White House, senators Richard Lugar and Sam Brawn, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the chief of the European Parliament Rene van der Linden, to secure the protection of independent media in Georgia.

“After a threat by the leader of the majority, former member of Liberty Institute - Giga Bokeria, the popular political TV Program “At the edge of choice (“Archevanis Zgvarze”) was shut down. This was followed by the well-known case of TV company 202. We think that the Georgian government is fighting against the freedom of speech and the independent media”, - is said in the appeal. “New Righters” ask diplomatic and international organizations to defend free media and alternative thinking in Georgia.
