{"id":"GEO-028","notes":"Legislative codification completes arc from state-condoned violence (2013, 2021, 2023) to full statutory prohibition. Passed in tandem with FARA (GEO-023) as coordinated Russian-model dual legislative package. Kobakhidze Christian values framing is TC-01 ambient narrative crystallized into law. Murder of Abramidze one day post-enactment documents direct lethality of legislative authorization.","country":"Georgia","sources":[{"url":null,"citation":"AP/Megrelidze and Litvinova Sept 26, 2024; Human Rights Watch Georgia 2024; Civil Rights Defenders Georgia reporting"}],"summary":"Georgian Dream passed comprehensive anti-LGBTQ+ legislation banning all Pride events, public display of the rainbow flag, gender-affirming care, changing gender in official documents, same-sex adoption, and public depiction or endorsement of LGBTQ+ relationships in media. Passed concurrently with Russian-modeled FARA foreign agent law. PM Kobakhidze explicitly framed law as defense of 'European Christian values,' echoing Kremlin's gay propaganda law justification. HRW noted law limits multiple rights including health care, peaceful assembly and education. Trans woman and prominent actor Kesaria Abramidze stabbed to death in her apartment one day after law finalized. Human rights groups documented immediate spike in hate crimes following enactment.","tactics":[{"code":"TC-18","role":"primary","label":"Legislative Operationalization","needs_review":false},{"code":"TC-39","role":"secondary","label":"Mass Criminalization of Protest and Civic Mobilization","needs_review":false}],"version":1,"channels":["Legislative","Parliament"],"entities":[{"id":821,"name":"Georgian Dream parliamentary majority; PM Irakli Kobakhidze","role":"actor","entity_type":"Government"},{"id":822,"name":"LGBTQ+ community broadly; Tbilisi Pride; civil society organizations; trans and gender non-conforming persons; independent media","role":"target","entity_type":"CSO; Individual"}],"date_text":"09/2024","created_at":"2026-09-24T17:50:55.358311+00:00","escalation":5,"harm_track":"Track 1 — Financial Strangulation","narratives":[{"code":"LEGACY-N-5c9ec0b9ef8f","role":"primary","label":"National Values / Cultural Sovereignty","needs_review":true},{"code":"NF-01","role":"secondary","label":"Foreign Agent / Foreign Influence","needs_review":false}],"report_ids":[],"signal_ids":[],"updated_at":"2026-09-24T17:50:55.358311+00:00","occurred_on":"2024-09-01","campaign_ids":["GEO-CAMP-002"],"enabler_type":"","response_ids":[],"trigger_type":"TR-08: Proactive / Ambient","campaign_phase":"Phase 4: Institutionalization","civic_response":"","date_precision":"month","enabler_status":"","campaigns_served":[],"consequence_category":"Operational Suppression","institutional_consequence":"All Pride events legally prohibited; rainbow flag criminalized; gender-affirming care banned; immediate spike in hate crimes; Kesaria Abramidze murdered day after enactment"}
