This resolution on media freedom in Georgia, particularly the case of Mzia Amaglobeli, urges the Georgian authorities to release her and withdraw charges, end harassment of independent media, and repeal repressive legislation. It calls on the EU and member states to monitor legal processes, continue supporting civil society, and stresses that unless repressive laws are repealed, Georgia's EU membership would be impossible.

Key points
