On 27 May 2011 GYLA Telavi office lawyers visited members of rally held in Telavi pre-trial detention centre. Conditions of detention in Telavi Isolator are critical and urgent measures are required.

According to the detainees and the lawyers:

-    The following detainees have been brutally beaten up by police officers: Andrei Gora, Murman Dumbadze and Aleko Chubinidze. It has to be noted that Murman Dumbadze was brutally beaten up when brought to Tbilisi Chief Police Office;
-    They are denied access to medical treatment;
-    For already 2 days they are not provided with any food;

GYLA considers that the above-mentioned detainees are subjected to ill-treatment and urges the responsible authorities:

-    To provide the detainees with medical treatment and food
-    To start investigation on facts of physical insult of the detainees and abuse of power by the police officers and bring those responsible to justice
