It is unacceptable to limit political freedom of speech to political subjects - Tamta Muradashvili T

Rustavi 2 lawyers consider the decision of the regulatory commission to prohibit the advertisements on TV broadcasting as anti- constitutional.

According to Tamta Muradashvili, there is censorship, because the letter does not clarify on which grounds the Commission is trying to limit the possibility to spread information to political subjects.

For Rustavi 2 lawyers it is not clear what the regulatory commission implies in obscenity.

The Communications Regulatory Commission demanded the broadcasters to remove the advertisements from the air to defend Salome Zurabishvili.

"Any media that understands its role and function in this country should not obey this anti-constitutional definition. It is unacceptable to establish censorship and self-censorship on broadcasters and restrict political subjects to freely express political speeches. Moreover, there are elections upcoming and it is inadmissible to restrict the political pluralism. It is noteworthy that the presidential candidate, Salome Zurabishvili does not apply herself and the commission at its own initiative gives such explainations . The Commission will, in some sense, be a party to what we think is inadmissible. The definition is completely unjustified and does not explain what they mean in obscenity ", -said Tamta Muradashvili, a lawyer for Rustavi 2.
