The European Court Determined Liability of Georgia on the Fact of Ill-Treatment of Nikoloz Goguadze Detained During the Special Operation of Kintsvisi
Tbilisi. On June 27, the European Court of Human Rights made a decision on the case of GYLA proceedings: Nikoloz Goguadze versus Georgia.
“The court determined a violation of the article 3 of the European Convention (prohibition of torture) as the complainant became victims of ill-treatment from representatives of law enforcement bodies and at the same time, the state failed to provide an effective and timely investigation of this fact.
According to this decision, the European Court found a violation of substantial part of the article 3 of the European Convention and explained that the objective evidence in the case confirmed that on May 26-27, 2011, the complainant had suffered a number of injuries in the face and body when he was under the control of the government which he had not got before being detained. At the same time, the state was unable to present a convincing argument about what caused these injuries. In contrast, the state presented a resolution of the prosecutor on the modification of the qualification by which the investigating authorities confirm, that there was sufficient evidence in the case about the fact of ill-treatment of complainant”, is noted in the statement.
