4 года лишения свободы за драку на избирательном участке в Грузии.

4 года лишения свободы за драку на избирательном участке в Грузии.

24 May 2016

Министерство юстици Грузии по поручению премьер-министра страны подготовило поправки в Уголовный кодекс, которые предусматривают ужесточение наказания за драку на избирательном участке. Такое поручение было дано после инцидента, произошедшего 22 мая в Корцхели на промежуточных выборах в районные сакребуло, когда между сторонниками "Грузинской мечты" и "Единого национального движения" произошла драка.

Как сообщается, за массовую драку на избирательных участках будет введено наказание в виде 4 лет лишения свободы.

Министр юстиции, Теа Цулукиани, сообщила, что "в Уголовный кодекс будет добавлена новая статья, которая сделает уголовно наказуемым насилие или угрозу насилия на избирательном участке во время выборов, предвыборной кампании или на месте агитации, или на близлежащей территории".

Инициатива ужесточения наказания за драку на избирательном участке исходит от премьр-министра Грузии, Георгия Квирикашвили.

На сайте правительства Грузии было опубликовано его заявление, в котором сказано: "Так как ныне существующий закон не предусматривает достаточно строгого наказания за такие факты, я поручаю министру юстиции быстро, на ближайшем заседании правительства представить законодательные изменения, согласно которым будут ужесточены санкции за любое проявление насилия во время политических и избирательных процессов".

Касаясь непосредственно инцидента в Корцхели, он заявил следующее: "Я жду от министерства внутренних дел, что все подозреваемые в участии в насильственных действиях лица будут выявлены в кратчайшие сроки и будут наказаны по всей строгости закона".

Георгий Квирикашвили также заявил, что "События, которые имели место на промежуточных выборах в Самегрело неприемлемы. Такие инциденты не должны повториться вновь. Я не могу не подчеркнуть важность отхода от прежней практики проведения выборов в обстановке насилия. Это относится к прошлому и не имеет места в сегодняшней Грузии."

Произошедший инцидент осудили многие международные наблюдатели и организации. В случившемся "Грузинская мечта" и "Единое национальное движение" обвиняют друг друга.

Campaign "Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025" launched

1 September 2025
LINKS Europe is pleased to announce the launch of the campaign Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025. This will be the fourth Landmine Free South Caucasus campaign that LINKS Europe is co-ordinating since 2019, and like previous editions, the campaign will be regional, involving Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, and will have five official languages: Armenian, Azerbaijani, Georgian, Russian and English. LINKS Europe will work with stakeholders in the three countries in the delivery of the campaign. The campaign will run from 1 September to 15 December. The first part, from 1 September to 15 November, will be largely informative, using media and social media, whilst engaging with decision makers and civil society in the three countries. In the second part of the campaign, from 15 November to 15 December, the focus this year will be on the human and economic costs of landmine contamination. The Campaign will again mark 30 November as the Day of Solidarity with the victims of landmines and other remnants of war in the South Caucasus. A spokesperson for LINKS Europe said this year the campaign takes special significance following the progress in the Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Process and the historic meeting between the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders, together with the US president in the White House on 8 August. For six years, between 2018-2024, LINKS Europe worked on landmine issues in a very difficult political context, but always insisted that a regional approach was necessary for successful mine action in the South Caucasus. It consistently held that mine action could serve as a confidence-building measure in the region. Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025 will again push these ideas, but the context has changed, and the chance of success is now higher.
