Lithuania Adds 10 Georgian Citizens to 'Undesirable Persons' List

| News, Politics, Georgia

On July 28, the Lithuanian Migration Service published the names of 10 Georgian citizens who have been added to the country's list of "undesirable persons" and are now subject to visa restrictions. While the Lithuanian authorities had announced the update to the list last week, the specific names of the sanctioned individuals were only recently made public. The group includes judges, prosecutors, and members of the ruling Georgian Dream party.

The newly sanctioned individuals are:

Nino Galustashvili - judge

Jvebe Nachkebia - judge

Irakli Shvangiradze - judge

Viktor Metreveli - judge

Mari Meshveliani - prosecutor

Natia Tatiashvili - prosecutor

Sulkhan Tamazashvili - head of the government of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara

Mariam Lashkhi - MP from the Georgian Dream

Nino Tsilosani - MP from the Georgian Dream

Razhden Kuprashvili - head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau

With this addition, the list of undesirable persons in Lithuania now includes a total of 102 Georgian citizens. This action follows previous restrictions imposed by Lithuania in December 2024, which targeted Bidzina Ivanishvili, the founder and honorary chairman of Georgian Dream, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, and 16 other representatives of the party. That list also included high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, judges, and prosecutors.
