Elene Khoshtaria - I remember the cynical faces of all the representatives of the Dream, all the propagandists, the justification of Gakharia, the arrests, the insults of injured people, and yesterday I saw how the truth celebrated in the Strasbourg court
I remember the cynical faces of all the representatives of the Dream, all the propagandists, the justification of Gakharia, the impudence, the arrests, the insults of injured people, and yesterday I saw how the truth celebrated in the Strasbourg court, - the leader of the Droa party, Elene Khoshtaria, writes in a letter sent from the Rustavi Women’s Prison, in which she evaluates the decision of the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights on the events of June 20-21, 2019.
As Khoshtaria explains, the Strasbourg decision “is a great weapon for today’s struggle - the system has been exposed, and the political team has been accused at the highest legal level.”
"You cannot escape justice, I have always believed in this and I still believe in it. I remember the cynical faces of all the representatives of the Dream, all the propagandists, the justification of Gakharia, the impudence, the arrests, the insults of injured people, and yesterday I saw how the truth celebrated in the Strasbourg court.
This decision made in the June 20 case is a great merit of the dedication of the victims. Of course, great thanks go to GYLA and all the lawyers who worked on this case.
In addition to June 20, this decision is a great weapon for today's struggle - the system has been exposed, and the political team has been accused at the highest legal level. This is a powerful international political weapon, which, of course, we will use, including in the case of chemical weapons. Until the end!”, Khoshtaria writes.
The European Court of Human Rights has ordered the state to pay compensation within the judgment delivered in the so-called “Gavrilov Night” case.
According to the Strasbourg Court’s decision in the case Tsaava and Others v. Georgia, the state must pay two applicants €75,000 each as compensation for material damages, and another two applicants €85,000 each.
The decision also states that Georgia must pay all complainants varying amounts as compensation for non-pecuniary (moral) damages.
In addition, the state must pay €38,414.99 to 22 applicants to cover legal costs and expenses.
The state is required to compensate the applicants within three months of the judgment’s publication.
