who gave the orders and who in the government knew what was going on and who kept this matter under wraps. nobody just the chief warden and i was deputy chief warden he wanted me to film some interesting moments for example when police arrest an opposition activist or a prominent figure is arrested he wanted it on tape probably they intended to use those videos later against those people and i made those videos over the period of a year or maybe six months i'm not sure i didn't meet them in a day or two they were accumulated over a period of time and eventually i had two hours of video a big chief warden would take those videos to ask a liar and a liar would take them to the president they used it for entertainment the enjoyed torturing her helpless people and their hands one city future prison you are nobody you have no dignity this is why these videos caused such an outrage on georgia this

is why all those young people are protesting how do you know that interior minister aha a soul that t.d.o. how do you know he was aware of what was going on all the troyer i just it will tell you is told to to i made those videos for him and then he would take the tape and i don't know what he would do with it but i thought i would often come to be called the only person perhaps once or twice a week but he used to spend a lot of time talking to the chief warden in his office a call i was a very close ally of president saakashvili in president bush called a beacon of democracy that he was fully aware of what was going on in prisons this is why i insist that second release should resign and it democratic country it wouldn't be the minister of interior affairs or defense minister said. the president would resign and the president saakashvili must step in as a democrat but he's no democrat he keeps the entire nation and chaos and fear he relies on criminals. he has people with blood on their hands working in high

positions in the government will be able to think. do you think president bush meeting him about those things happening in the prison. well. of course he knew really was fully aware of what was going on and when akhalaia was appointed minister in two thousand and five the system was very far from european standards then saakashvili appointed the minister and started taking very tough steps he would send security forces to prisons they would break into prisons and beat up in me even after ally himself would often be there with a camera filming everything and then i think he was sure those videos to saakashvili in order to show him what kind of prison really have built his european m.p.'s would visit any prison and they were impressed they would see how did you manage to build such a system you have four thousand inmates here and this place is so quiet we haven't

heard as much as anybody speaking loudly it's almost as if there were no inmates here to talk to more why did you release this footage now. in may i asked myself whether i wanted to serve the ridge seem or to be. i tendered my resignation took the videos i had made and left the country i was afraid because i thought they would kill me so i came to belgium and asked for political asylum i have concerns about your family yes saakashvili is mentally unstable but nobody knows what to me to after i release those videos some people called me on the phone a few times telling me to keep my mouth shut those phone calls were just a couple of days ago i secretly left georgia and came to belgium in july i have been here for three months no and for financial reasons i have been unable to bring my family here. belgian institutions tell me my videos can't be published before my

family comes here because nobody knows what saakashvili may do to them as soon as my family is in belgium this footage will be released when i came to belgium i played those tapes to the european commission and the european parliament and be assured me that they would keep it secret and that saakashvili would never find out about it to be kept their word but somehow four or five days ago president saakashvili finds out about this tape and then he told a collage to get two of my friends who worked with me at the prison and stage a beating of an inmate so those two guys beat up an innocent and meet and then that video was aired in georgian television. that they did it on my orders the purpose of this fabrication was to create an impression that i was connected to the opposition he said i was paid two million dollars for those videos but i have never been involved in politics i have never been in

a political party i don't care about politics the thing is why did you release this footage now shortly before the upcoming parliamentary election in no no they started this by publishing their video and they contacted two of my friends and made that video with an inmate and played it in georgian t.v. what could i do i had this tape with two hours of footage that i had to defend myself they forced me to release the video use this had nothing to do with the election i wanted georgian people to wreak in their thinking seen especially prisoners i wanted to show the entire world what their beloved democratic and beacon of freedom saakashvili was doing to his own people he doesn't love his people and he doesn't care about anyone he's a criminal and there's cramer runs him this is what i wanted to demonstrate i succeeded in that but in quite a brutal way. but i think that if it i'm a bit honest how do. the peak inmates had to watch it to get political convictions

have anything to do with that from i think that's the nub of the buy he just did it for entertainment or if an inmate had something to do with politics if he was saakashvili as enemy they would pick him up this is them is extremely politicized if you work in the prison system or in the police you must be loyal to the psychotic feeling region no criticism is a lie so you should either leave or they will get to you they would kill me but they would seize me and my whole family they would hold us hostage or expel us from georgia i had to come here to appeal to the international community i've been waiting for this moment this is nothing to do with the election you know i could have published this tape in the september or in august or in the vancouver but the published fabricated tape to accuse me and i had to respond. with everything and

what kind of response did you expect from european institutions when he shall listen to them. really has people who lobby for him in the european union he pays them and they are very influential it's extremely difficult to find a person here who would listen to miletus because really this entire system turns a blind eye to ga the whole world has seen this video but when we ask people in various offices here what it is if they haven't seen it it's obvious that they just know that saakashvili is a democrat and they don't want to see anything or hear anything the only committee that's had a strong reaction is this committee for torture in stride because they had a very strong response i'm sure with even if you were a little let's not rush really has that really reformed the georgian police force or what do you think of that. there was no reform or what are you talking about it is it's just a facade for. inside the whole system is rotten. it's all done for p.r.

within it's a pyramid based on corruption at the lowest level you have police officers receive bribes but if you go higher and look at the parchman chiefs for example they receive millions right on the other hand you have traffic police who don't tell stories. it's on the other hand you have saakashvili who built a residence for a billion dollars and go to jail for eight hundred million dollars no georgia's foreign down to this for over five billion georgia's annual budget is only four billion people see these things. do you think i want to happen in the gold only prison is also happening in other georgian prisons if you don't know it wasn't was the georgian prison system has eighteen prisons and torture took place in all of them got courtyards what kind of response did you expect in georgia when you release those videos. but. the response has exceeded my expectations the

georgian people are very emotional and they have a very strong sense of pride and dignity that's why they rose up and took to the street with the protests are still reaching into blysse day and night and other major cities and they're likely to continue i think that unless feeley has totally lost his mind he will step down peacefully. he goes in friday just saw her a long time i west ham georgia and this talk us from the ocean as a model democracy she said that's really really what succeed in building democracy in georgia why does the west continue to that georgia's reputation as a democratic country over the limited number. of the qualities are political conclusion that saakashvili is a product of the us family and everyone in georgia is aware of it he will not tolerate for psychotic really to fail in georgia by the orange revolution fields and so did other. he's the only one who still bear saakashvili has been saving your

and america for x. or nine years so they are going to see and know that he's been a swindler and that's what he is a political swindler. what do you people of georgia get from saakashvili as president. people became smart they know that saakashvili has to go and police people canes patients but nothing substantial who could roods i'm fine since we both like a small child good people of this country just the way he wants to go he never had any clear should you like other presidents to for every day and hour of their lives after he would wake up whenever he wanted to for instance and his closest circle like i were exactly the same he watched his superior saakashvili got hard and copied his behavior. ok how long have you been working in the prison system when did you first notice the things were getting worse. since two thousand and one so

for a live in years i started noticing things were getting worse in two thousand and five since i colliders appointments so then we had criminal lords in the country but crime and torture weren't so obvious i'm not a polite gets drunk walks into a prison cell ice and beats up whoever he wants whichever way he wants the lemon blood he would have in the closet thank you very much for the interview. the sun rises over what seems like analyst forest to hear in the new directions quite hundred kilometers north of ledge of all stalk as in much of the world it's disappearing at a catastrophic rate. if. i.
