**Commission Set Up to Investigate Previous Government’s Activities**
A new commission has been set up in Georgia to investigate the activities of the previous government. The commission, led by Tea Tsulukiani, will look into the alleged crimes of the United National Movement (UNM) government that was in power from 2003-2012.
**Commission Members Elected**
Tsulukiani was elected as chairperson of the commission during its first meeting today. Sozar Subari, a member of the People’s Power party, was elected as secretary. The commission consists of eight members, including five from Georgian Dream and three from opposition parties.
**Investigations to Focus on Penitentiary System**
Tsulukiani said that the commission will investigate various areas, including the penitentiary system, the judiciary, confiscated properties, public officials, and repression or persecution. The commission’s conclusions will be based on court rulings, international reports, and official documents.
**Citizens Can Submit Statements**
Tsulukiani announced that citizens who were interested in the work of the commission can submit their statements. She asked individuals to provide fact-based accounts of UNM’s “crimes” rather than general statements.
**Commission’s Powers to Be Expanded**
Tsulukiani suggested amending parliamentary regulations to improve the commission’s efficiency. She proposed adjusting the work schedule and expanding the powers of each commission member.
