Kutaisi.15.04.05 Media News. The representative of the Public Defender in Imereti, Giorgi Mshvenieridze, has accused local law-enforcement bodies of unlawfully detaining defendants and violating lawyers’ rights.
According to Mshvenieridze, eight cases of human rights violations during pre-trial custodies in Kutaisi and Ckhaltubo were brought to light.
