MP: Amnesty act to be extended equally to all persons. Convention articles to be observed

MP Anri Okhanashvili says the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party remains committed to the compromise agreement, meaning that the amnesty act would be extended equally to all persons.

At the same time, Okhanashvili claims that the international standard linked to the Convention articles would be observed.

“Conventional articles against torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, and many more will not be included in the Amnesty. The standard and approach will be the same for everyone,” Okhanashvili added.

Earlier today, the opposition parties discussed the issue and stated that the victim’s consent should be incorporated in the amnesty bill.

The opposition vows that those who gave orders during the June 20 events and also the officials would not fall under amnesty.
