We checked part <strong>of</strong> the information on the police <strong>of</strong>ficer Shmagi Uratadze„s memory stick<br />

and the collected information is valid. <strong>The</strong> Coalition has neither authority nor ability to<br />

carry out valid investigation on the police <strong>of</strong>ficer‟s activities. Consequently, the obtained<br />

material cannot be considered valid pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> illegal activities <strong>of</strong> the police. Despite that, due<br />

recommend them: due to the significance <strong>of</strong> the information stored in the memory stick, it is<br />

urgently important to timely study it. Naturally, we believe it is useless to oblige Georgian<br />

law enforcement agencies to carry out relevant investigation because abovementioned<br />

information indicates to their illegal and anti-constitutional activities. We do not have<br />

guarantees that if we hand the memory stick to them they would not erase or change the<br />

information. So, we suggest you to set up public commission with the participation <strong>of</strong><br />

nongovernmental organizations and experts which will investigate the fact and release<br />

relevant conclusion on the issue. We are ready to hand the memory stick to the commission<br />

together with all relevant information we have. 68<br />

organization Movement Voters‟ League to be subject <strong>of</strong> the monitoring regulated by Article<br />

261 <strong>of</strong> the Organic Law <strong>of</strong> Georgia on Political Union <strong>of</strong> Citizens. Consequently, restrictions<br />

envisaged by the Organic Law were imposed on it.<br />

<strong>The</strong> decision <strong>of</strong> the SAO was motivated by publicly declared goals and purposes <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Voters‟ League, as well as their implemented activities…<br />
