On 3 March, an order signed by Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna came into effect, under which Estonia has imposed an entry ban on 55 Georgian prosecutors, judges, police officers, members of parliament, and other individuals.
“We added 55 additional Georgian individuals to the entry ban list,” Foreign Minister Tsahkna said. “The list includes judges, prosecutors, police officials and police commissioners, platform creators and members of parliament, who are responsible for the prosecution of protesters by the judicial system and judiciary and law enforcement agencies.
