She was supported by at least thirty members of the Assembly, belonging to at least five national delegations as required by the Rules.<br \/>\nThe challenge was immediately referred without debate to the Assembly\u2019s Monitoring Committee for report, and to the Rules Committee for opinion, and will be debated by the Assembly on the afternoon of Wednesday 29 January.<br \/>\nUnder the Rules, the Assembly must vote for one of three options: to ratify the credentials, not to ratify them, or to ratify them \u201ctogether with depriving or suspending the exercise of some of the rights of participation or representation of members of the delegation concerned in the activities of the Assembly and its bodies\u201d.<br \/>\nThe members of Georgia\u2019s delegation may sit provisionally with the same rights as other Assembly members until the Assembly has reached a decision, but shall not vote in any proceedings relating to the examination of their credentials.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Ahmad Shahidov, a human rights defender who is currently in Strasbourg, France and closely participating in the PACE Winter Session, gave a statement to ARB24 TV and spoke about the sanctions that PACE will impose against Georgia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17737\" src=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025-475x267.jpg 475w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17738\" src=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025a-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025a-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025a-475x267.jpg 475w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025a-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025a-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arb24_28.01.2025a.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The credentials of Georgia\u2019s delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) have been challenged on substantial grounds on the opening day of the 2025 winter plenary&hellip;
