Statement of the South Caucasus Network of Human Rights Defenders about “Accused Victims”
Human Rights NGOs undersigned below express their concern
regarding the recent judgment of the Tbilisi City Court sentencing 6
youngsters to 3 years and 4 months imprisonment for hooliganism, the
fact of which has not been established by reliable evidence, and despite
a number of elevating circumstances present in the case. This comes as a
particularly harsh sentence in comparison with a pattern of sentences
applied e.g., against law enforcement officials who were found guilty of
causing deprivation of citizens’ lives. Just to compare: for the
murder of Buta Robakidze, 19, the police officer was sentenced to a
4-year-imprisonment (in 2006) and the murderers of Girgvliani, 27, did
not even spend the 4 years in prison, being pardoned by the President
(in 2009).
