“STOP PROMOTING MORAL CORRUPTION IN OUR COUNTRY” – GEORGIAN INTELLIGENTSIA WRITES OPEN LETTER TO EU SPECIAL ADVISER ON HUMAN RIGHTS

A traditional wedding in Georgia

The leading newspaper of Georgia (not the US State, but the Republic situated between the Black Sea and the Caucasus) has published an open letter signed by 36 of the country’s leading intellectuals, criticising the EU’s Special Adviser on Human Rights, Thomas Hammarberg in reaction to a controversial report he wrote on the country’s human rights record.

It is not that there were no serious human rights abuses in Georgia, like in many countries emerging from Soviet rule. But those abuses do not seem to interest Mr. Hammarberg, who passes over them in silence. Instead, the single issue of what he and his political masters in Brussels believe to be a “human rights policy” is the promotion of sexual immorality under the guise of concepts such as “diversity”, tolerance”, or “fighting against homophobia”.
