Tbilisi. Georgian Young Lawyers' Association released a statement on Giorgi Ugulava case. "Investigation of a crime, revealing offenders and imposing legal responsibility represents primary obligation of the law-enforcement bodies. On the other hand, this obligation must be implemented in accordance with the rules prescribed by the law; the law-enforcement body must prove the law-compliance of the investigative actions and may only limit the rights of an any person in case of existence of the factual and legal grounds.Based on the analysis and examination of the widespread information, GYLA considers that there are a number of circumstances in case of Giorgi Ugulava, which indicate that the actions of the law-enforcement bodies lacked proper justification and credibility; those actions did not comply with and contradicted the requirements prescribed under the legislation of Georgia".
