Tbilisi. The Public Defender makes a statement on events developed in Rioni Gorge.
The Public Defender calls on the Ministry of Internal Affairs:
- To immediately give the protesters an opportunity to continue their rally at the alternative place suggested by them and if there is a justified reason for refusing to do so, allocate the kind of alternative place close to the desired location, which will not make the rally pointless.
- To provide the public with detailed information on the reasons and duration of the road closure in the village of Namokhvani.
- The Public Defender’s Office continues to examine the ongoing events and alleged human rights violations in the Rioni Gorge in detail. Information of the results of the examination will be additionally provided to the population.
