EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy, Stefan Füle, said on July 22, that further investigation was needed into excessive use of force against protesters when the riot police broke up anti-government rally in Tbilisi on May 26.

“What happened in May in Tbilisi during the protest rally must never happen again,” Füle said in his address to an international conference Georgia's European Way in Batumi.

“I know an investigation into these events has been conducted but I believe further investigation into these events is needed to ensure that those responsible for excessive use of force and losses of human lives are held accountable for any eventual wrong doings,” Füle said.
