The International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy (ISFED), Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association (GYLA) and Transparency International – Georgia examined and published a number of reports about acts of pressure exerted on citizens, most of all about dismissals in public sector on political grounds.

Dismissal from the Ministry of Education, Science and Monuments Protection, Ministry of Interior Affairs, Ministry of Labor, Health and Social Affairs, local self-governments and their subordinate agencies, legal entities of public law were most frequent.

NGOs apply to heads of all corresponding ministries and local self-government agencies to launch immediate probe within respective agencies into the circumstances of these dismissals in order to restore rights of illegally dismissed persons and to identify makers of illegal decisions in a timely manner.

We stand ready to cooperate and provide you with reports available to us about dismissals on political grounds.
