Conclusion As a result of monitoring, the following problems were singled out: over the last two months, the long-term observers of Human Rights Center observed 87 cases of abuse of law enforcement and misuse of the supervisory and regulatory resources of the government. 10 of these concerned illegal interference in the activities of journalists; 50 cases were linked with politically motivated oppression and revenge by governmental institutions, and there were 27 cases of assumed politically motivated detentions. Our monitors observed that human and financial resources of the government administration were misused in 17 cases. More problems included: abuse of administrative resources by the ruling party; politically motivated persecution of people, which acquired alarming proportions (more than 60 activists of Georgian Dream were detained); doubts about voters‟ lists. The media is still experiencing oppression and satellite dish antennas are still confiscated. Disproportionate fines sanctions and fines hinder the activities of the political opposition coalition. Recently, the government of Georgia and the ruling party – United National Movement were strongly criticized by two international organizations at once. Rapporteurs of the PACE and the Pre-Election Mission of the Parliamentary Assembly of OSCE expressed their concerns about the current situation and called on the government to create equal conditions for every political party during the pre-election period. Background The evaluations of international observers were preceded by statements from international and local NGO‟s in which they repeatedly condemned the actions of the government against the opposition. In particular, the NGO sector highlighted problems during the pre-election period in the run-up to the parliamentary elections on October 1. As early as the end of last year, Coalition Freedom Choice drew attention to an unhealthy situation that could influence the election process. In December 2011 the coalition published 81
