More than a hundred Georgian citizens are already included in Western sanctions lists.

The Czech Republic has imposed sanctions on:

deputy interior minister Aleksandre Darakhvelidze, who, according to the Czech foreign ministry, publicly justified the use of force and violence against protesters;

• judge Koba Chagunava;
• judge Nino Galustashvili;
• judge Mikheil Jinjolia;
• prosecutor Lasha Kotrikadze.

According to the Czech foreign ministry, which put the proposal to the cabinet, these individuals are responsible for the violent suppression of protests in 2024–25.

Foreign minister Jan Lipavský noted that similar sanctions have already been introduced by the UK, US, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. However, there is still no consensus within the European Union on adopting joint sanctions against human rights violators in Georgia.
