This three day training activity will take place in the premises of the Police Academy in Tbilisi, Georgia on 16-18 May. It will be attended by law enforcement officers from the Special Operations, Counter-Terrorism and Patrol Police. The training course will focus on upholding human rights standards while combating terrorism, and include sessions on the prohibition of torture and ill treatment, the right of life, detention conditions and the right to liberty, data protection and investigation techniques as well as the freedom of thought and expression.
