Gori District Court annulled 3 000 GEL fines imposed on seven citizens during the state of emergency

July 2, 2020
 
On July 2, the Gori district court fully satisfied the administrative appeal of Human Rights Center and annulled 3 000 GEL fines imposed on seven citizens by police officers. 

On April 21, 2020, seven residents of Gori applied to Human Rights Center’s Shida Kartli office for legal aid. They reported that on April 17, patrol police officers had fined them for violating the social distancing. They claimed that the imposed penalties were unfair because they were not standing together: 3 of them were standing with 2 meters distance; another three persons were standing with two-meter distance 40-50 meters away from the first group and the seventh man was standing separately from the others. Police officers concluded that they were standing together and fined each of them with 3 000 GEL. 

Human Rights Center appealed the Gori District Court and requested to annul the penalties issued by the officers of the Shida Kartli regional police department of the MIA.

The Gori district court fully satisfied the administrative appeal of Human Rights Center.
