The sanctions follow the UK's recent suspension of programme support to the Georgian government and restriction of defence cooperation. The FCDO's decision aligns with condemnations from UN experts and the OSCE regarding the pattern of repression and human rights violations in Georgia, particularly in light of the use of force against protestors after the October parliamentary elections.
