Tbilisi. Public Defender informed provided information on the criminal case of abuse of power by the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on June 20-21 to the Advisory Council.
"The joint recommendation of the Public Defender and the Council is to focus on the study of the overall situation: how the police used the force; whether the force used by police was in compliance with the instructions and legislative regulations in Georgia; how the operation was planned; who issued orders and who was responsible for the execution of the orders. These are the main issues and the investigation should focus on the abuse of power by individual police officers only after studying all this,"- the Public Defender told journalists.
