  • Situation of Human Rights in Georgia October 2006 Since the Coming Into Power of Mr
    Note Situation of Human Rights in Georgia October 2006 Since the coming into power of Mr. Mikhaïl Saakaschvili at the favor of the so-called “roses’ revolution”, local and international organisations observe regular deterioration of fundamental freedoms. The violations of rights and freedoms are encouraged by a very personalised and authoritarian sense of power from the President. The first consequences of it are the exessive use of violence et and the impunity by law-enforcement bodies, repression and harassment against journalists, human right defenders, etc... This also contributed to conflictual situations at both internal (minorities and separatist regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia) and external (recent break of diplomatic relations with Russia) levels. This new escalation of internal and external tension can provoke a serious deterioration of the situation of civilian population of Georgia and lies within the on-going agravation of a general human rights situation. A. Torture, ill treatments and excessive use of force Use of torture and ill treatments by law enforcement officials FIDH and Human Rights Information and Documentation Center (HRIDC), member of FIDH, strongly condemn the increase of torture, inhuman and humiliating treatments especially by law enforcement bodies. Despite the fact that, NGOs and UN human rights mechanisms reported numerous cases of torture committed by police officers, the impunity of their perpetrators is still a reality. In his annual report to the 62nd Commission on human rights (march 2006) and following a mission to Georgia, the Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, declared that “torture and ill-treatment by law enforcement officials still exist in Georgia” and that “ the methods of torture included beatings with fists, butts of guns and truncheons and the use of electric shocks, and cigarette burns; injuries sustained by the victims included, among other things, broken bones, cigarette burns, scars, as well as neuropsychological changes”.

    United Nations A/HRC/26/33/Add.1* General Assembly Distr.: General 4 June 2014 Original: English Human Rights Council Twenty-sixth session Agenda item 3 Promotion and protection of all human rights, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to development Report of the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons, Chaloka Beyani Addendum Follow-up mission to Georgia** *** Summary The present report contains the findings and recommendations of the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons subsequent to his follow-up visit to Georgia from 10 to 14 June 2013. The objective of the visit was to examine the human rights situation of internally displaced persons in the country since the last assessment made by the previous mandate holder, Walter Kälin, in September 2010. Although the Government of Georgia has made considerable progress in providing durable solutions for all internally displaced persons and in addressing the issue of those displaced by natural or human-induced disasters, continued efforts to improve the living conditions and livelihoods of internally displaced persons in the collective centres visited are needed, alongside the adoption of an integrated approach to address the situation of all internally displaced persons. * Reissued for technical reasons on 12 June 2014. ** Late submission. *** The summary of the present report is circulated in all official languages. The report itself, contained in the annex, is circulated in the language of submission and in Russian only. GE.14-04769 (E) *1404769* A/HRC/26/33/Add.1 The establishment of a coiled razor wire fence along the administrative boundary line of the Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia, Georgia, which deprives internally displaced persons and displacement-affected communities of their freedom of movement and livelihoods, is of major concern.
