On July 28, 2017 in hotel ,,Kalasi’’, non-governmental organization ,,Young Barristers’’ organized public presentation of documentary film: ,,The system against the citizen’’, which concerns details of dispute in 2004-2017 years between the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, the former Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Georgia Giorgi Papuashvili and Roland Bladadze about illegal confiscation of Roland Bladaddze’s property. With this filme, organization informed society about unknown circumstances in the process of proceedings.
According to the head of NGO ,,Young Barristers and Roland Bladaze’s lawyer, Archil Kaikatsishvili all the information confirms that there are groups in executive, legislative and judicial government, which goal is to hamper justice restoration on system crime cases. Their influence on political and legal institutions is very high, but the logic they are guiding is incomprehensible – conseqtuent the state interest, restoration of justice and receiving of legal decisions on victim Rolan Bladadze’s case should be in the interests of the government.
,,We hope that despite the impacts, the standard court of the country - the Supreme Court of Georgia will keep quality of impartiarily which justice needs on the case before international partners and Georgian society, we hope that free and different from subordinate courts decisions will be received, The Court of Cassation will not accept any attempt to make Roland Bladadze's property rights even more vulnerable, from whom no influence, no matter from whom it come – government or George Papuashvili, who do anything to make real their influence on the Supreme Court’’ - said Archil Kaikatsishvili.
The film fully informed the society about unfamiliar details of the dispute, analyzis of court decisions, facts of individual judges’ bias, state policy towards return of illegaly confiscated property, unknown circumstances in connection with Giorgi Papuashvili's relationships with state institutions, conclusions and expectations. The film publicly answers all questions about bias on the case, which are based on influence on the case at the court stage by joint efforts of the State and Giorgi Papuashvili. Consequently, all the documents are showing the legal prerequisites for restoring the property rights of the affected citizen, but subordinate instance courts were deliberately silent on this facts and circumstances. The society is aware that currently, in the Supreme Court of Georgia, judges: Nino Baqaquri (chairman), Besarion Alavidze and Paata Silagadze discuss the case.
