According to InterpressNews, Tina Khidasheli, one of the leaders of the parliamentary majority, says it is very important that the human rights report issued by the US Department of State talks about the political persecution in Georgia only in the context of the allegations made by the National Movement. 

According to her, the topic of political persecution does not go beyond the mentioned context.
“As a rule the human rights report of the Department of State discusses all aspects, though it is important that unlike several previous reports, this year the report talks about the political persecution in Georgia only in the context that some allegations were made by the National Movement. The report does not say that the US Department of State confirms these allegations and does not call on the Georgian government to prevent political persecution. The report just says that the Department of State heard some allegations from the National Movement. Of course, it is very important that no remark has been made beyond the context of this fact”, Khidasheli said.
