July 26, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> The Department of Migration of the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs notified the Belarusian embassy in Tbilisi about detaining a Belarusian asylum seeker, although he asked them not to, human rights activist Raman Ki\u015blak has told Pozirk<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe was asked whether the embassy should be informed of his detention. He answered, \u2018No.\u2019 Later, however, he learned from his relatives that his refusal had been ignored\u2014both the embassy and the Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs are aware of this,\u201d the human rights activist said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ki\u015blak, last night he filed a statement with the Georgian Prosecutor General\u2019s Office describing the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgian authorities have rejected all asylum requests from Belarusians in the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ruling Georgian Dream party, accused of Kremlin links by its opponents, clashed with the European Union and the United States and made overtures to the Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka regime. President Mikheil Kavelashvili, elected by the oppositionless parliament, congratulated the Belarusian strongman on his \u201cre-election\u201d in January 2025, while most democratic nations condemned the poll as a sham. The methods employed by the Georgian government against the opposition are reminiscent of those employed in Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgia is home to about 12,000 Belarusians, who fled their country for fear of reprisals. Their number is gradually decreasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
