Tbilisi residents hold a march on anniversary of two schoolchildren's murder
In Tbilisi, on the anniversary of the murder of two schoolchildren, Zaza Saralidze, a father of one of them, has promised to continue the protests until all guilty persons are punished. The office of the Georgian Ombudsperson declared an ineffective investigation into the murder.
On December 1, a march dedicated to the anniversary of the murder of schoolchildren David Saralidze and Levan Dadunashvili took place in Tbilisi.
On December 1, 2017, two 16-year-old schoolchildren died from stab wounds got in a fight. Zaza Saralidze, the father of one of the killed schoolchildren, stated that investigators covered up the persons guilty of the murder. Since September 10, Zaza Saralidze has been holding a protest rally in front of the Georgian parliament building with the demand for fair punishment for them.
Participants of the action installed photographs, laid flowers, and lit candles at the front of the school where the killed schoolchildren studied.
Khatuna Maglakelidze, an advocate for the Dadunashvili family, reported that the defence of a teenager accused of the murder tried to justify him, the “Rustavi-2" reported.
Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili appealed to the ruling "Georgian Dream" Party with an appeal to "give answers to a number of questions."
No effective investigation was conducted into the case on the murder, noted the office of Ombudsperson Nino Lomdjariya.
