So we are deeply troubled by the actions taken against those protesting against the draft law and the actions taken to advance it, US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller, stated during the briefing.
"We are aware of increased reports of harassment and physical assault of civil society and opposition activists and journalists. We condemn this and we call for a full, independent, and timely investigation.
And I will just say, and kind of in response to the broader question, we have enjoyed a successful partnership with Georgia for more than 30 years. We would like to continue to work with Georgia.
There is still time to work collaboratively with Georgia, but the Georgian Government needs to change course for that to be the case," Miller said.
