regarding another violent raid of a peaceful protest rally

26/11/2019

The NGO RCT/Empathy condemns yet another violent raid of peaceful protest rally in front of theParliament of Georgia and calls to all victims to apply to the Center for Forensic Expertise and Legal Aid.

At the same time, we urge the government of Georgia to end gross violations of human rights.The taking away from demonstrators of means for heating in cold weather and dispersal by the jet of cold water violates the constitutional right to health, as well as the right to freedom of expression and is an example of inhuman treatment. We believe that all this is aimed at intimidating the population, which is a phenomenon characteristic of totalitarian regimes.
