Davit Dvalishvili, Journalist at TV Rustavi 2 violated Charter's 10th principle
21.11.2018

Material in question was about suicide in village Natanebi, when a minor killed herself because of blackmail [this information is not proven in court yet]. The material included her suicide note contents. It seems that the girl committed suicide not to publicize her sexual and intimate communication details with the accused. The material prepared by Rustavi 2 includes the specific communication details [in the letter and in the interview with the lawyer] because of which the girl killed herself. Charter Council thought that the 10th principle was violated (privacy).

Representative of the applicant attended the hearing. Responding journalist answered questions via phone.
