EU Delegation to Georgia issued a statement concerning prison acts in Georgia calling the country to apply a transparent and thorough investigation. The statement in particular read the following:
“The EU Delegation is shocked by the appalling footage of abuses committed against inmates in Gldani prison. It is of vital importance that these and other incidents are thoroughly and transparently investigated and that those responsible are held to account, Ill-treatment of prisoners is a very serious Human Rights violation, as the Public Defender has declared, and we continue to demand that the Georgian Authorities make every effort to address such human rights violations effectively”
Recall that similar statement was issued by the U.S. Embassy.
