Alarming Statistics Makes Law enforcers Focus on Human Rights

On the background of blowing the whistle by civil watchdogs against human rights violations in prisons, Georgian Interior Minister Irakli Okruashvili and Prosecutor General Zurab Adeishvili said that from now on more attention would be paid to eradicating human rights abuses within the law-enforcement agencies.
 
With this purpose, monitoring groups will be set up at the Public Defender’s Office to permanently control the activities of the law-enforcement agencies. According to Prosecutor General Zurab Adeishvili, the prosecutor’s office has already brought 14 charges against the facts of torture [of suspects] and planting of drugs.
