Human Rights Center : June 20-21 events show that the current government of Georgia keeps  the style established by the previous government

The events of June 20-21 show that the current government of Georgian Dream continues the style of violent governance established by the previous government, reads the report of the Human Rights Center regarding the protest demonstrations of June 20-21 in Tbilisi and following events.

The report says that the use of disproportionate and excessive power against the large-scaled protest demonstration by the law enforcement bodies created an impression that they wanted to punish the protesters.

The report chronologically reviews the events taking place before June 20, 2019, directly during the protest action and the subsequent developments.

The report of Human Rights Center reviews the formal grounds and delivers legal assessment of the dispersal of the demonstration, as well as the facts of interference in the professional activities of the journalists, detentions of the protesters and court hearings. The report sends recommendations to various state bodies.

The Human Rights Center will present the report later today.
