Tbilisi.The Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association and the International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy have released a statement on February 15 concerning the developments in the local self-governments. The organizations have echoed the dismissal of public servants in the Gurjaani Municipality. "We call on the authorities to probe into the mentioned cases and react adequately to ensure that no political discrimination is allowed, human rights are protected and the rule of law is guaranteed. Any illegal action (pressure, threat, intimidation) that may take place on behalf of or against the self-government authorities or employees must be timely, effectively and impartially examined, which, when needed, should entail the respective legal response”, says the statement.
