Origin

2013 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 5, insert the following paragraph:

"Concerning Georgia, the prosecution and, in particular, the pre-trial detention of former Prime Minister and leader of the main opposition party UNM, Ivane Merabishvili, as well as the prosecution and charging of more than 100 former officials and opposition members, is a matter for concern. The Assembly considers the link publicly made on several occasions by the current Prime Minister between these prosecutions and the rhetoric of the opposition as a sign of selective justice."
