We have already visited 156 people, and 124 of them claim that they were subjected to violence and inhumane treatment, which is almost 80% of those detained. Such a statement made today the Public Defender.

“You have followed our feedback, including an assessment of all issues relating to the use of force by the police against protesters, proportionality or cases of excessive force. I will tell you that we visited 156 people and 124 of them claim that they were subjected to violence, inhuman treatment, which is almost 80%. This is a very disturbing number, because if we look at the dynamics, including the previous demonstrations, the number of citizens who claim that there was an excess of force on the part of the police is increasing alarmingly.

Therefore, I once again call on the police not to go beyond the norms established by the law and to use only legitimate force against citizens, so that the Special Investigation Service reacts strictly to all such cases”, - said Levan Ioseliani.
