Public Defender Visits Detainees

On December 7, 2024, the Public Defender of Georgia, Levan Ioseliani, visited 34 detained protesters in temporary detention centers in Tbilisi and Sagarejo.

Some of the detainees had injuries and, as they themselves stated, the police abused them during the arrest and transportation. The Public Defender provided information about all the cases to the Special Investigation Service.

The Public Defender emphasizes that the Ministry of Internal Affairs should also pay attention to the seizure of detainees' belongings by law enforcement officers, since some of the detainees indicate that the police are not returning their phones and other personal belongings seized during the arrest.
