Beatings by Police Continues

October 1, 2004

Beatings by Police Continues

Beatings by police still continue and yet have no end. Law-enforcements severely beat G. K. who had been detained charging with the hooliganism and taken to Vake-Saburtalo police department on September 27. The beatings by the police continued periodically all night long. Despite the mediations of the attorneys, no medical expertise has been done.

On September 27 at about 10 p.m. police detained G. K., G. K. and R. V. for the traffic incident and took them to Vake-Saburtalo police department. The mentioned persons were beaten severely before and after taking to the police department.

G. K. was reportedly beaten by clubs hitting on his body and head that caused hard damages and body injuries. G. k. fainted from beating and his parents called for ambulance though policemen did not allow doctors to K. Later the parents had to call the ambulance again and after they insisted continuously the doctors were allowed to see and examine G. K. The examination showed the multiple body injuries and trauma of the skull.

His parents were unable to avoid the police frustration as well and became the objects of police abuse while trying to defend their son and asked police to stop beating. In response, police officer H. H. hit a hand on the face to G. K’s father.

Advocates applied to Davit Natriashvili, the deputy head of Vake-Saburtalo investigating department demanding the medical expertise of G. K, in order to define the quality of the damage. Despite the fact that the mediation was sent on September 28, no expertise has been yet carried out as the investigation tries to drag on the process.
