Georgian authorities expelled 15 Belarusian citizens in the third quarter of 2026. This is reported by the outlet Pozirk, based on data from local police.
11 men and 4 women were expelled between July and September.
As journalists note, this is one fewer than in the second quarter, which set a record for the number of deportation cases involving Belarusians.
The most high-profile case was the expulsion in late September of political refugee Leu Mikheyew, who had spent five years unsuccessfully trying to obtain asylum in Georgia. He is now in Armenia and is counting on protection there.
Since the beginning of the year, the number of expelled Belarusian citizens has reached 39 (32 men, 7 women).
