Public Awareness

The following public service announcements represent one of the most important aspects of the project — increasing citizens’ knowledge of their rights.

Public Service Announcements

Internews Georgia, an IRIS grantee, produced these award-winning public service announcements. (All PSAs are in RealMedia format.)

	Black Box — The Right to Remain Silent A clever twist with the black stripe highlights each citizens’ right to remain silent.
	Clock — Rights During Pre-Trial Detention Delivers the message that citizens cannot be detained without due process. Watch the clock on the wall — suspects must be charged within 72 hours.
	Cut Out — Open Meetings Emphasizes that government agency meetings are open to the general public.
	Fig Leaf — The Right to Alternative Non-Military Service A humorous way to deliver the message that military conscripts can choose alternate forms of service.
	Fingerprint — Torture During Pre-Trial Detention This PSA contrasts color and black-and-white imagery to emphasize that torture during detention is a crime.
	I Am — Ethnic Discrimination Vignettes from Georgia’s different ethnic groups highlight that all Georgians are equal under the law.
	Seduction — Illegal Conscription Explains that citizens cannot be drafted into the military using deceitful tactics.
	See Saw — Freedom of Assembly This PSA uses humor to explain that people have the right to form unions and organize.
	Fashion Show — Enforcement of Court Decisions A man in a fashion show portrays a series of high-level positions. But in the end he still appears as a jailbird. This is a humorous way to highlight that all citizens are equal under the law — regardless of their position.
	Signs — Extortion and Bribery by Traffic Police A hilarious way to get across a simple point: By paying bribes you may be creating more problems for yourself.
