“We consider that though adoption of relevant regulations in regard to spread of the new coronavirus serves a legitimate purpose, transfer of authority of restriction of rights, mentioned in the bill, to the Government of Georgia does not comply with the standard of the Constitution of Georgia and the above restrictions should be imposed only in accordance with law. It should also be noted that the bill allows restriction of mentioned rights in a disproportionate volume and is not focused on a necessity that follows a specific case”, - is noted in the statement released by the organization.
