The functioning of democratic institutions in Georgia
In the draft resolution, paragraph 5.4, at the end of the second sentence, insert the following words:
"and it should not be used for political purposes".
Explanatory note
The amendment stresses that pre-trial detention should not be used for political purposes. A clear example was the arrest of UNM election campaign manager and former Tbilisi Mayor Gigi Ugulava five days before the crucial runoff and sentencing him to pre-trial detention.
