Georgia denied asylum to a human rights defender from Russia.

Stanislav Dmitrievsky began his human rights advocacy work during the Soviet era. He participated in legal projects and field missions in Chechnya and Donbas. In 2006, he was sentenced in Russia to two years probation due to the publication of appeals from the leaders of the unrecognized "Ichkeria Republic," calling for a peaceful resolution to the war in Chechnya. In 1989, Dmitrievsky was arrested for participating in a demonstration with a banner reading "The massacre in Tbilisi is genocide," and in 2008, he signed an open letter against the Russian army's invasion of Georgia. Dmitrievsky has been repeatedly arrested in Russia for his involvement in human rights activities.

The Georgian authorities have once again denied protection to Russians who are not loyal to the Kremlin. Additionally, Georgia has several times extradited opposition figures to the governments of countries with which they disagreed politically, including Russia. Since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian opposition politicians, independent journalists, human rights defenders, and activists have frequently been denied entry into Georgia.
