According to the lawyer, this limits the protection of their rights, as it becomes more difficult to find detainees and contact lawyers.
Some of the detained participants of the March 7 protest in Tbilisi were transferred to different cities of the country, particularly Dusheti, Gurjaani, Khashuri and Kutaisi. This is what the Chairman said Association of Young Lawyers of Georgia Nona Kurdovanidze betrayed Georgia Online.
All the cities listed are far from the actual place of detention – Tbilisi.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia did not explain the reason for the transfer of the detainees. According to the lawyer, this limits the protection of their rights, as it becomes more difficult to find detainees and contact lawyers.
Kurdovanidze said the detainees’ cases have not yet been submitted to the courts.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia, on March 7, 66 people were administratively detained for protests against the adoption of the law on “foreign agents”.
Recall that on March 7, after the adoption by the Parliament of Georgia of the first reading of the law on “foreign agents”, protests began in the center of Tbilisi, where the police used tear gas and water cannons.
The adoption of the bill is supported by the ruling party of Georgia, which states that it is aimed only at achieving transparency in the funding of NGOs and media. Several hundred non-governmental organizations and media in Georgia signed a statement against the adoption of the law.
The EU has warned Georgia of “serious consequences” if the law is finally passed, while the US has threatened sanctions.
Georgia sent the adopted bill for review to the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe.
