The Human Rights Center Publishes its Monitoring Report regarding the Amount of Police Force and Unidentifiable Law Enforcement Officers Mobilized at Protest Demonstrations Tbilisi, 29 September 2023 - The Human Rights Center (HRC) announced the publication of its monitoring report regarding the amount of police force and unidentifiable law enforcement officers mobilized at protest demonstrations.
Within the scope of the EU-funded project - Strengthening Monitoring and Advocacy Capacities for Rights in Georgia, the HRC monitored 11 public assemblies in the period from January 2023 up to today.
According to the HRC monitors’ assessment, the amount of police officers mobilized during some demonstrations was disproportionate. Moreover, the monitoring showed that uninformed police officers were frequently present during assemblies. Given that the aforesaid comes in contradiction with the international standards and the best practice, the monitoring report includes a set of recommendations directed towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Human Rights Center remains committed to advocating for the protection and preservation of human rights in Georgia and calls upon all stakeholders to consider the recommendations laid out in the published report and work collaboratively to uphold the fundamental rights of every citizen.
