According to the examination conclusion, third-degree damage has been ascertained for the building of the Public Defender's Office. Furthermore, the ongoing rehabilitation in the surrounding area leads to quakes, which creates additional threat to the damaged building. Accordingly, the Public Defender’s Office has decided to declare emergency mode and suspend the working process until July 2, 2018.

Allocation of additional funds for the Public Defender's Office is planned at the nearest meeting of the government, which will allow us to rent a temporary alternative building. The Public Defender's Office will make every effort to prevent delay in case proceedings.

Citizens will have the opportunity to leave their applications in the reception, although we will be able to register them only from Monday.

The change will also apply to the hotline response group. The temporary number of the hotline operator will be 598083006. Also, please email us at info@ombudsman.ge

The Public Defender apologizes to citizens for the discomfort caused by reasons not depended on us and expresses hope that the technical delay will be eradicated in time.
