Since 2023, Georgia has been on the path to establishing a semi-consolidated authoritarian regime, which is ruled by the "Georgian Dream". The parliamentary elections of 26 October 2024 are the culmination of the anti-human rights policies and the capture of the democratic institutions. Widespread violations, including the procedural violations, obstruction of the observers, violation of the secrecy of the ballot and the undue influence on the voters, indicate a systemic practice of electoral manipulation by the ruling party. 

The unconstitutional government of the "Georgian Dream" is now (as of March 2025) rapidly seeking, through its actions and the abuse of legislative powers, to reduce the remaining space for dissent and continue its rule indefinitely, thereby completely ignoring Georgia's constitutionally enshrined Euro-Atlantic foreign policy. 

As of March 2025, the "Georgian Dream" regime has completely ignored fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of assembly, which has been widely exercised by the Georgian people since 28 November 2024, when the "Georgian Dream" government announced the suspension of negotiations with the European Union. The regime has physically abused and systematically tortured hundreds of demonstrators, using force and/or unknown chemical irritants, resulting in long-term health effects, as documented by, among others, organizations such as the IRCT and OMCT (which was later supported by 6 UN Special Rapporteurs). The "Georgian Dream" government is suppressing dissent by passing repressive laws (86% of recently initiated draft laws have been passed in an accelerated manner) and has also initiated a purge of the public servants with different positions in the public sector. From 19 November 2024 to 28 February 2025, according to the non governmental organizations’ Legal Aid Network, administrative proceedings have been initiated against 1084 individuals and 486 individuals have been administratively arrested. In addition, since the April-May 2024 protests, in the context of the ongoing protests, more than 60 individuals have been arrested under criminal law, who could not/cannot enjoy the right to a fair trial.
