GYLA and Article 42 of Constitution Release Statement
Tbilisi. The Georgian Young Lawyers' Association and "Article 42 of the
Constitution" quit their activities in the working group examining the
cases of persons arrested and persecuted on political grounds. The working
group was set up on November 1 with the Parliamentary Committee for Human Rights and Civil
Integration. The organizations GYLA and "Article 42 of the
Constitution" welcome this initiative, yet, the statement says that the
work of the group has revealed number of problems undermining the effective
work of the group: working format and timelines do not provide a possibility to
thoroughly examine the issue."We believe that
it is impossible to prepare full conclusions on the cases of 185 political
prisoners and 13 politically persecuted persons within the two-week deadline
and the format determined by the group. We are aware that it is not intended to
extend the deadline of the working group's mandate, which makes it impossible
to examine the issue thoroughly. Despite our several attempts, the format of
the working group could not be changed and the agreement on the above could not
be reached", – the statement says.Although the
organizations quit their activities in the format of the working group, they
express readiness to submit their cases and conclusions to the group and assist
it in this respect.
