Tbilisi. The Georgian Young Lawyers' Association has released a statement on the draft law concerning the sentencing rules. "GYLA believes that the draft law initiated by the Government of Georgia in the Parliament of Georgia requires substantial revision. It is preferable that the draft law is approximated with the initial version of the draft law developed by the Ministry of Justice, which linked the sentencing rule to the categories of crimes", says the statement. GYLA welcomes the trend of liberalization of the criminal policy, but believes that the draft law contains important issues definitely requiring improvement.
