Additional information:

Georgian border guards didn't let in Georgia an investigative journalist Will Neal who was living in Georgia since 2022. He was held at the border for 45 minutes and was returned to Armenia from where he was travelling. Like in other cases of denials of entry for journalists, he was not given a specific reason for this denial. He thinks this decision could be related to his recent investigation about Oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili.
