"Many people have been affected and no one has been held accountable who could potentially be the perpetrator of the crime," Public Defender Levan Ioseliani said on PalitraNews TV regarding the protests.
More precisely, Ioseliani spoke on the program about the Public Defender's 2024 report, in the context of the April-May protests, and emphasized that in November "we saw even more alleged facts of ill-treatment."
“This is a 2024 report and it concerns the April-May protests, not the November protests, although there was not much difference, we saw even more alleged facts of ill-treatment at the November protests than at the spring protests.
Of course, we continue to work on these issues with the Special Investigation Service, of course, we follow the investigation process. The fact is that, and no one can escape this, that a lot of people have been affected and no one has been held accountable who could potentially be the perpetrator of the crime.
Today's protests are not violent in nature on the part of the protest participants, of course, this treatment by the police has been reduced,” said Levan Ioseliani.
