The Georgian Foreign Ministry demanded from the United States evidence of the guilt of judges against whom the State Department imposed sanctions

Georgian Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili wrote about this in a letter to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

"The decision of the US State Department on sanctions against judges, which was published without presenting any evidence, is completely incomprehensible and unacceptable," the minister said.

Tbilisi hopes that the US State Department will present evidence or reconsider its decision, Darchiashvili said.

Otherwise, this will be perceived by the state and people of Georgia as pressure on the independent court and gross interference in its activities, the Foreign Minister emphasized.

He warned that this would harm the friendly relations between Georgia and the United States, his words are quoted by TASS.

On April 5, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States was imposing visa sanctions on four members of Georgia's High Council of Justice, the main judicial body in the country. As Blinken himself claimed, these judges are allegedly associated with "significant corruption."

We are talking about Mikhail Chinchaladze, Levan Murusidze, Irakli Shengelia and Valerian Tsertsvadze.

After that, the chairman of the Georgian ruling party "Georgian Dream" Irakli Kobakhidze said that the introduction of such sanctions indicates the corruption behind this decision of the State Department.

The politician expressed the opinion that Secretary of State Blinken was "marred by this statement" by those who bring him such information.
