Assaults against the Public Defender of Georgia is a Matter of Grave Concern
Tbilisi. The undersigned civil society organizations express grave concern regarding the frequent verbal assaults against the Ombudsperson of Georgia.
“The office of the Public Defender of Georgia is the only independent constitutional institution in the country, which, in these circumstances of the ongoing state capture, is beyond the control of the ruling party. All impartial observers recognize that the activities of the Public Defender adhere to the highest standards of independence and professionalism. A clear testimony of this are the recent statements by the US State Department , Members of the European Parliament or Amnesty International.
We, the undersigned civil society organizations, call on the government and the ruling party to stop their attacks against the Public Defender of Georgia and create all conditions necessary for its continued and unhindered work”.
