unfortunately will be a somewhat sad one we will have to ask you about that which are attributed to you were supporters. of the on the night of the protest dispersal just last more about what happened that night people to maybe government will use their force against the gamma strike. that we said many times when we appeal to the population and to the people who are standing in front of the parliament buildings that may be governmental the use of force but these people will really vary in what your great . many of them said to me and to other leaders so far national assembly directly we are ready for. even for you the force against us but we will show example for the rest of the population of georgia that we have to fight for our dignity and for our rights but of course nobody was waiting. will they use

such a brutal force people nobody was waiting as the police will be just demonstration of force and this will be operation to punish people who are in front of the parliament joy just special forces surrounding the people where in trip there was no way out there was no possibility to leave the square. as we understand special forces received special instructions to arrest all that was france and more than one hundred there must run so. that night to beat people brutally especially in hants how. many people received serious. were transported to the hospitals and they had the special instruction and not to allow me the leaders of the national assembly to leave. place. so.

it was a real punishment to spread to the people and it's not the next again today when one of the main supporters of saakashvili and advisors mr bender kids whose quality world nor even in. the places said that it was ok with the government to use the such a brutal force against violence runs to morrows they will think twice until they will participate in any demonstrations so one person our supporters who died despite of the first government was broadcast t.v. that he died because of car accident. thanks to my cars which is not yours fortunately there were rebuilt footage which shows that this person had been beaten until the death by ten fifteen special forces representatives and you can see there were footage on youtube and on our website following the clampdown many people were arrested

a lot of your supporters in fact have gone missing so do you have information on their current whereabouts do you know anything about them right now about two hundred seventy eight people are rest most of these people have been arrested six in the morning but afterwards and all they have started called resistance against the police results any evidence is real evidence from the side of the government of course i am sure that people are political prisoners. they will appeal to the strasburg court concerning all these cases what has to change in georgian politics for the country to move forward to step away from its. post soviet. style and move forward towards westernized country or to prosper you know i will not say right now that georgia is a post so your country it was. into south and fourteen thousand five.

thousand late two thousand and eight even in spite of the war right now it's a typical soviet style country. enjoyed a right now it's a real no bullshit. with all signs of soviet regime while a sheen of elementary constitutional norms. violation of elementary human rights our control of media. police which is just doing everything despite of our legal obligations if it's coming from from a political base stations it's a typical soviet countries where every person who is against regime is the enemy of the country i remember in soviet times even when i was small girl not afterwards during her career but before i read it in the books but every

person who was criticizing soviet regime was. supporters or agent of. secret agent of imperial it's right now in georgia is the same you can change the words imperialism with russia and every person who is criticizing saakashvili and who is a good he said regime all of them just beginning for me it's a very serious police. agency of russia friendly we are just traders we are enemies of the people everything the same. you can't imagine if it wasn't for myself. i enjoyed your people right now not everybody of course for. many people are afraid even to quietly like to ask you how are you so afraid to come to the funerals if. it's fairly off so people who are not just agree with the truths from him and if you have

a different point of view if you are supporters of a position if you have huge reach very high risk to lose their job to find the find in your pulpit drugs or are gone and you have a high risk to be religious outside there of not only political but real life in which so this is a typical story of country modernized i call it modernized soviet union. which is the ruling right now in the perception of the united states officials change that all of the presidents of course really has the support to windowed would you say yes without any doubt saakashvili has right now and his regime less personal support and it was before during president bush. presidency but you know the problem is the united states this week and they have too many problems and the georgia is not priority number one so why quite often i have

a feeling i'm not in details are high officials in the united states know what in reality going on in georgia from another side the way our state department's conclusion seemed to solve the nineteen thousand. where they were speaking about a little corruption where they were speaking about selective justice but i think that. nevertheless even as this support which that country had right now has right now this is a mistake from society as you know. because. kind of support in eyes of many georgians creating a lot of questions people don't understand why one of the most democracy a country in the world will continue to support. even less but never so it's a regime which is absolutely under more critic of the georgian president has been seen as a sort of freedom poster boy by a lot of people in the west not just the united states but in europe as well so

right now is yours is your history here in brussels and meeting with people do you find it difficult to change that. perception of the georgian president you know mainly because of our international communities they know our real face of the country quite well of course diplomacy means that they will never say it in public but you can compare our position of those people before to solve themselves before their selves and before it even takes of me and a greater knowledge but of course you need time you need time. to. why do you. call a real. question really a real face of georgian democracy press release. lots of really very year too. little beast and p.r. company. but nevertheless if you can see quite critical articles and send him to so

you can buy many things are always money which is not just really spending for p.r. and loves companies but you can't buy everything and everyone you can lie for a short time to a ruin but you can't lie for ever to everybody so it's meant to have time but of course we need to work very seriously and that is why and what has for you personally changed since you left your georgian government and switched over to the opposition side you know my life in government was not competent. because i had lots of problems with governmental the team. it was very difficult to be responsible for the many of these stations which was not supported. by close circle from my side but i am a person who is clean according to rules as i was a part of the team quite often i was taking responsibility for the decisions which

. was decided in spite of my protests and despite of my just. but i was a part of the team when i saw that. i don't want to continue like that i don't want to be responsible in front of my people for what i was thinking is not right but nevertheless. it was done by the government i think clearly. you know personally of course being the speaker of the parliament more call for trouble you have security you have a lot of people around the you have just as there are a lot of people around who are trying just to say please hello to you right now of course many things have been changed even former friends say trying to avoid to see you or to speak with you or sometimes just me just. doing in this case that they didn't see you in just

a public place they stand of course personally not not confortable. to be legal for positional parties enjoyed your really difficult because there you are responsible into in front of the people who trust you. and you can't protect these people even when great you know that these people are absolutely innocent and right and of course the emotional needs are very difficult i remember this. i can tell you that even more difficult for me was twenty six. twenty seven says that. night until i received any information that some people had been died when i was under attack from the side of special forces not difficult it was the second day when i was receiving every minute in my phone information that this person had been arrested that person had been arrested this person we don't know where he is and you have you can't do anything absolutely to protect these people. in any case you

can just times you will you have to continue to fight we are wishing you the best in all your endeavors thank you very much for coming in and talking to us you can thank you. we've got. the biggest issues get the voice face to face with the news makers. loose. ends.

don't ever speak first they have to fight their nerves before every single high die . yes it's fear but it's not panic it's good when you're scared it would be far more dangerous if we weren't scared and before any high dive i realize how risky it is but you should be positive it is. scary and the red herring. but that's part of the enjoyment. there is a danger factor but we train. for many many years to become divers of a professional. high quality and so the risk of danger is minimalized this is the french city of leadership in a police where the british taking a hike in weather conditions come together to challenge elite clique gerber's as a tool for high diving comes within just a few hours of the high tide while a steep atlantic breeze of up to eighty kilometers parole makes the st nicholas
