Opposition summons Minister of Internal Affairs to Parliament relating to March 7 - 8 events

Part of the parliamentary opposition is summoning the Minister of Internal Affairs to the legislature through the interpellation procedure. They have questions to Vakhtang Gomelauri regarding whether any police officer was punished for violence against people during the March 7-8 protests

“Citizens were injured as a result of the use of disproportionate force on March 7-8. Many people were arrested, and many were physically injured, including Zurab Japaridze. Special equipment was used, which did not make sense and was therefore disproportionate.

One person lost his sight. We have no information about the punishment of any policeman, we have not seen any statement by any agency in this regard. Therefore, because we need answers to all questions, we will summon the Minister through the interpellation procedure. He should come and answer specific questions”, - said independent MP Khatia Dekanoidze.
