Tbilisi. Transparency International Georgia declares that ''the Deputy Minister of Interior is obliged to follow the presumption of innocence''.

''As a summary of the practice of the European Court, it can be said that the accusing party is also obliged to follow the presumption of innocence, particularly in the case, when a statement is made not within the format of a criminal case proceeding at the court, but through a press conference or a television interview. In such cases it is important that public information be provided only in the form of description of facts, without evaluating, declaratory judgment'' - is stated on the web-page of the organization.
