mysteries of the world where once a room two years but now. on the other side of the moment. the strikes and demonstrations of. this is sort of is the reaction from the government in france this is again fuel in the debate on liberty versus security with actually no clear understanding of where to draw the line even with the government itself with the french government in this case there's a typical magazine meanwhile that published the cartoons claims it is their right to more whatever. they warrant included extremists and they say that they more the issues of the day every week it's actually these particular magazine is supposed to do so this is a satirical magazine and they have famous for a very special humor and they've been very sensitive subjects such as catholic choice law make law but some say it's just

a rush to make profit as this issue of the magazine sold out and they are planning another printer. thousands are protesting in the republic of georgia in reaction to leaked footage showing prison guards torturing and raping inmates in one of the country's jails the president has now replaced the guards with police officers but angry demonstrators say they won't back down until everyone responsible for the abuse is brought to account artes you go to school office in the georgian capital. these are the largest protests georgia seen in years and i'm not only talking about the thousands of people taking to the streets in the capital tbilisi but process of also happens in many other large towns across the country many people here are very angry with this video right now and some protestors keenlyside see the reef me at barely addressed to georgian authorities others as signs saying concern is not enough addressed to european union officials some people claim to have recognized

their own relatives being allegedly abused by britain officials and this is a small country and news here really spreads quickly and so does public anger and the people testers are demanding not only the sacking off officials responsible for the interior ministry but also for their illegal prosecution now the videos themselves were leaked by a former employee a staff member of one of the main prisons in georgia not far away from the b.b.c. this man is currently in exile in belgium and the video show alleged abuse by the staff members of the inmates not only the beating up inmates but also literally torture including sexual abuse and including abuse of minors all of this is happening in light of a major public city campaign promoting the recent report of georgia's going to change the system jails are presented with an image of being as transparent as they

get inmates even have a voice to get rid of cash to fight corruption so these videos and the food scandal is definitely a huge blow to this p.r. campaign georgia is preparing for parliamentary elections there's already tension in the air the opposition is being quite active as well and so these videos are a major punch in the piece to georgian authorities these well what's also interesting is that many protesters have. compared these videos to forage for all the it was a guantanamo prison but if we talk about guantanamo that there are terror suspects held there while the people begin to board in these videos are just ordinary inmates parties a court is going to have in b.c. he's across the latest from georgia and you can also step to speed by following him on twitter reaction now from international relations professor mark moment who is

in neighboring turkey mark thanks for joining r.t. today now you've been monitoring the situation in georgia since the early ninety's is this our latest scandal an isolated case or is a part of a bigger picture. excitedly. as being abuse. and since. last july first claims them all the problem is that it hasn't really suited the western governments which feel that it's almost as a person. to admit to this kind. of routine. and instead. of the lip service to meet. western you. would have the impression that. who should win rights for. democracy was a pure was on. now there are claims that the georgian presidential administration knew about the prison have failed to stop it how likely this inerrant is that seem

to you. it seems probable because this kind of. disgusting spectacular. jewish christians are heavily. into the race of france and britain or america or western countries with a very highly rated. and the president overall has had an enemy he was imprisoned and whole tortured was a pace for instance seven years ago. really. and he had been president and. it's apparently. just. when it's actually going to fire he and others who question in the past were thrown into prison so it's a little bit disingenuous for the president. as anybody else because he and his prime minister who even want to charge

a prison reform people who have. been disagreements political perms commissioner of . using the police as a kind of. to be charmed critics and even one one of his critics who murdered short read are a romance novel. and the church of the results has compared to the now notorious prison to the ensign misc one time of a facility what do you think about that comparison well i think so i think probably what went on over graham certainly the sexual abuse they were prisoners at abu ghraib similar to these pictures that we've seen coming out of georgia. and of course this has to many georgians it is the contempt of the government who are georgians as i say we have to remember that although we're talking about people in prison such as the high reaches people being put in prison in georgia in small country. or somebody who will be put in prison for instance the former

president. has been in prison again some people say i'm shocked of charges from the highest most famous families in georgia the people we imprisoned is by no means the home of the whites. so this kind of abuse is not in the something you. might assume to be removed. is something that directly approaches people in the. broader community to lean over very briefly mark with less than a fortnight before a parliamentary election how is the scandal likely to go down with georgian voters . the kuwaitis that could reach people in a socialist government but equally in a way of people going to challenge the election because the government seems willing to use for a person that has the people who disagree with that there was a great fear that the election maybe. the election commissioners were more voters and over in georgia there were more georgians that have

police is former assistant commissioner was appointed as an advisor on security to the regime with no objections from the u.k. government. bahrain campaigners say it's ruining the government's credibility it's only when they stand up in public and say we host this torture we oppose these autocratic regimes and we democracy only then will the british government have any credibility whatsoever and at this moment. has. the bahraini opposition and their supporters aren't calling for intervention but they do want the international community to condemn the regime they say is least as oppressive as the syrian regime that western powers are so desperate to get rid of laura smith r.t. london pressures military bases and central asia will provide regional stability and once nato leaves afghanistan that's president putin's pledge after
