Tbilisi. On 30 March 2019, the Public Defender of Georgia submitted a report on the situation of human rights and freedoms in Georgia to the Parliament.

''In the context of the right to life, the report refers to the investigation of the proportionality of the force used against Temirlan Machalikashvili, the effectiveness of the investigation into the murder that took place on Khorava Street and the important shortcomings in the investigation of the murder of the first President of Georgia, Zviad Gamsakhurdia. In addition, the Public Defender considers that disproportionate penalty was imposed on the employees of the penitentiary service charged in connection with the case of killed prisoner Levan Kortava'', is noted in the statement.
