Tbilisi. Georgian Young Lawyers' Association released a statement. "A draft law has been initiated in the parliament, envisaging amendment of the Criminal Code of Georgia and postponement of enacting restriction of freedom as one of the types of non-custodial punishment for two years. These changes were initiated by the government of Georgia and drafted by the Ministry of Corrections. GYLA disapproves of the initiative. ...We urge the Ministry of Corrections, the government of Georgia and the parliament to treat determination of the new term of enactment with maximum responsibility and refrain from delaying the enactment restriction of freedom; further, the issue of allocating necessary financial resources should be included in the process of reviewing the state budget law", says the statement.
