Today's CPT report on Georgia raises serious concerns, including allegations of police ill-treatment during the late-2024 demonstrations, - this was stated by Council of Europe Secretary General Alain Berset on social media.
According to him, ill-treatment is never justified.

The Secretary General emphasizes that the Council of Europe is ready to support reforms.
