Evidence of Human Rights Violations Come to Light in Imereti

Kutaisi.15.04.05 Media News. The representative of the Public Defender in Imereti, Giorgi Mshvenieridze, has accused local law-enforcement bodies of unlawfully detaining defendants and violating lawyers’ rights.

According to Mshvenieridze, eight cases of human rights violations during pre-trial custodies in Kutaisi and Ckhaltubo were brought to light.

“We have brought these facts to the Ombudsman of the Internal Ministry, Shota Khizanishvili, who always reacts in a timely manner,” said Mshvenieridze.  “However, the Prosecutor’s Office should also give instructions to the Internal Ministry about how to eliminate these problems.”
