Ombudsperson of Georgia Levan Ioseliani accuses the police of torturing pro-EU protesters.
Ioseliani says in a statement that the location, nature and severity of the injuries sustained by the protesters suggest that the police are using violence against citizens as a punitive measure. According to the Ombudsman, this meets the definition of torture.
The ruling party The widespread demonstrations against the Georgian dream continued in the country’s capital, Tbilisi, on Tuesday for the sixth day.
