Georgia Enacts Lustration Law

The Georgian parliament approved the so-called "Freedom Charter" banning the use of Soviet symbols, as well as Nazi ones. The Charter also prohibits Soviet-era Communist party, Komsomol and national security functionaries from holding official posts in parliament, the government and the Security Council, etc. They also will be prohibited from serving as university deans or judges. The Charter envisages the removal of monuments bearing Soviet symbols and renaming streets and towns whose names are suggestive of the country’s Soviet past.
