Today Georgian Young Lawyers`Association (GYLA) submitted a complaint in the Prosecutor’s Office of Tbilisi on behalf of Lasha Katsia to confer the status of victim on him. Submission of the complaint became necessary after the denial of victim status to Lasha Katsia by the case supervisor prosecutor. Without the status of victim Lasha Katsia loses the possibility to get to know the case materials and to be informed about the progress made in the investigation of violence committed against him. Also, he cannot benefit from the rights given to the victim by the procedural law and has only the status of witness in the case.
