Crowds Demand Justice System Overhaul
Georgian citizens are once again mobilized outside the old Parliament building on Rustaveli, this time demanding mass resignations and an overhaul of the Georgian justice system, which they claim is "corrupt" and "unfair."
The White Noise Movement, last seen with its supporters on Rustaveli with regards the drug legislation, has joined the current ongoing rally against the government.
According to Davit Subeliani, White Noise leader, the whole justice system needs changing "not just one prosecutor," he said, referring to the Chief Prosecutor's resignation this evening.
"I want to thank Zaza Saralidze for fighting for justice for his murdered son in the name of the whole nation. Chief Prosector Irakli Shotadze's resignation means nothing. It is necessary to change the system in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, state Protection Service, and Prosecutor's Office," Subeliani told the crowd.
Two 16-year old schoolboys, Levan Dadunashvili and Davit Saralidze from Tbilisi Public School 51, were brutally killed during a street brawl in the city center on December 3, 2017. Davituliani died on the scene while Saralidze was taken to the hospital and died the next day.
The Tbilisi City Court ruled the defendants were "partially guilty" for the murders of teenage victims. According to Judge Eka Areshidze's decision, G.B, who was accused of Levan Dadunashvili and Davit Saralidze's murder, was only found guilty for the murder of Levan Dadunashvili. The court rectified charges against GG for the murder of Davit Saralidze, amended to 'guilty of the attempted murder of Saralidze.' The sentence will be determined tomorrow. No-one was named as guilty for Davit Saralidze's murder.
