Tbilisi. The Public Defender considers that the legislative initiative, both in its content and form, is clearly incompliance with freedom of expression as well as to the requirement of predictability of law and, ultimately, poses danger to democratic development. 

''According to the proposed formulation, the only criterion for restricting freedom of expression is ''insult of believers' religious feelings'', which lacks the opportunity for objective evaluation and fully subordinates one person’s expression to other person’s (believer) control, which virtually grants believers a privilege. In addition, relevant state agencies, when enforcing the law on the basis of the mentioned provision, have to evaluate what can be regarded as "insult of religious feelings'', which grants them wide opportunities for arbitrariness'', is noted in the statement.
