Representatives from the U.S. Embassy and the diplomatic corps have attended court hearings involving Georgian citizens who claim they were beaten or subjected to violence by police forces during arrest or detention. The embassy has expressed concerns about these incidents, stating that "targeting of individuals exercising their fundamental rights and freedom of expression undermines justice, democracy, and the rule of law in Georgia."
The presence of diplomatic representatives at these hearings highlights international attention on issues related to human rights and law enforcement practices in Georgia.
