President: This day in Georgia is not only a day to celebrate human rights, but also a day to trample human rights underfoot - no matter what masks they wear, they should know that it will be found out who was where and we will all remember them

This day in Georgia is not only a day of celebration of human rights, but a day of human rights being trampled underfoot - no matter how many people wear masks, they know that it will be found out who was where and we will all remember them - said the President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili.

According to her, human rights are underfoot in Georgia today.

"This day is considered as the day of celebration of human rights. This day in Georgia is not only a day of celebration of human rights, but also a day of human rights being trampled underfoot. This is how we should remember this day and this is how this day will remain in the history of Georgia. All those who participated in this or will participate in these days, they will undoubtedly enter the history of Georgia. Georgian people, the Georgian nation will never forget this. No matter what masks they wear, they know that it will be found out who was where and we will all remember. Today, rights are not only violated, but trampled underfoot: holding a peaceful protest; use of tear gas against peaceful demonstrators; the use of chemical substances against them; special purpose forces that do not wear identification marks; uninvestigated cases and systematic impunity of those who carry out these repressions; Violence on the part of law enforcement officers occurs both during arrest and, what is significant, in the post-arrest period... it is condemned everywhere. The Public Defender himself used the word "torture", this too will go down in history", said the President of Georgia.
