On December 14, 2011, within the series of human rights events, Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association organized a meeting on the topic of administrative imprisonment.
At the meeting GYLA presented opinions on key problems in law and practice of administrative imprisonment.

The fact that use of administrative imprisonment as a sanction violates most of the human rights was highlighted. Furthermore, administrative imprisonment is sentenced by evading necessary procedural guarantees.

Judges of city court and court of appeals, representatives of various state entities, including the Interior Ministry and the High Council with the Ministry of Justice participated in the meeting; the meeting was also attended by representatives of local and international organizations.

Participants of the meeting shared GYLA’s position and opinions concerning deficiencies in the system of administrative imprisonment. Furthermore, representatives of different agencies expressed their readiness to continue discussion of existing problems and undertake meaningful steps.

GYLA continues to work on problems related to administrative imprisonment and plans to wage active campaign for tackling problems that exist in law and practice in this regard.
