Levan Ioseliani, the Georgian Public Defender, made an announcement on Human Rights Day, December 10, addressing growing concerns about recent protests on Rustaveli Avenue and urging the Ministry of Internal Affairs to “take targeted measures against those who violate the law.” He emphasized the right of citizens to protest and journalists to work safely.

Ioseliani highlighted his meeting with detained demonstrators, stating that 225 detained protesters reported poor treatment, while 157 had physical injuries.

“Society has seen the evidence of their suffering, and those responsible must be held accountable,” he noted, calling on the Special Investigation Service to act as soon as possible.

He also addressed attacks on journalists, declaring their role vital in defending human rights. “The government is responsible for ensuring a safe working environment for media workers,” Ioseliani said.

“Unidentified, masked aggressors must be investigated and brought to justice,” he concluded, addressing the violence at rallies.
