Internally Displaced People Appealed at the Kutaisi Civil Court

“We are inhumanly treated though they will not scare us or force us out from the area. The threats and degrading treatment increases as time passes. They threaten to exile us from here, but we hope that we would be able to find justice in this country,” said IDPs who reside in the hotel “Kutaisi” in Kutaisi. Today they have applied to the Human Rights Center’s Kutaisi office.

The owner of the hotel “Kutaisi” is Interinvest, Ltd. Early in March, Representatives of the Ltd sent letters to the IDPs where they informed them to leave the hotel within a month. The owner of the hotel offered the 7 000 USD as a compensation. The IDPs did not accept the offer and they started protest demonstrations.

“We have realized that negotiations with Kakha Kukhianidze, a representative of the Interinvest, would have no output, and we applied to the court. One of these days, the Ltd will receive summon from the Kutaisi Civil Court and then we will discuss the problem at the court,” said Shota Milorava, seventy-five-year-old IDP from Abkhazia.
IDPs residing in the hotel demand increasing of the compensation till 10 000 USD. The Kutaisi Civil Court will supposedly start discussing of the IDPs’ suit against the Interinvest in a week.
