Details
I appeal to the Minister of Internal Affairs to stop the use of disproportionate force and violence against young people who came with their bare hands
She also called on the Ombudsman to respond immediately to stop any unjustified and unlawful actions by the special forces.
It is clear that the action was peaceful, it did not pose any danger, there was no threat to order. It's a shame that you oppose young people when you declare your nationality, it's a shame that you appeal to your faith and start violence during Holy Week!
Addendum
Georgian police used tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets against demonstrators who gathered to protest the law on "foreign agents." At least 20 people were reported injured.
Recall
The Committee on Legal Affairs of the Georgian Parliament supported the draft law on foreign agents in the second reading. The meeting was held amid heated debates between the opposition and members of the parliamentary majority.
