Part 2/6:
International Response to Violence
On Monday, the British government publicly condemned the violence perpetrated by Georgian authorities against the protesters. In response, they announced a halt to all aid directed at the Georgian government. This sentiment of denunciation was echoed across several Western nations, including the United States, France, and Germany, all of which expressed their concern regarding the government's handling of the protests.
Further reports have emerged from the country's rights ombudsman, who accused the authorities of committing torture in their crackdown on dissent. Despite these allegations and increasing international pressure, the Georgian government has remained resolute, rejecting any calls to alter its course of action.
