would take them to the president they used it for entertainment the enjoyed torturing her helpless people were in their hands one city could see prison you are nobody you have no dignity this is why these videos cause such an outrage from georgia this is why all those young people are protesting at how do you know about interior minister or how my a cell that t.d.o. how do you know he was aware of what was going on all day or two or three i just stood tall tales told to two 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 feel i would often come to be called the only person who helps once or twice a week like 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 he was fully aware of what was going on in prisons this is why i insist that saakashvili should resign and it democratic country it would be

the minister of interior affairs or defense minister said. the president would resign and president saakashvili must step in as a democrat but he's no democrat he keeps the entire nation in 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 presidents at this meeting about those things happening in the prison. i mean that the over of course he knew saakashvili was fully aware of what was going on when i feel i was appointed minister in two thousand and five a system was very far from european standards then saakashvili appointed a liar minister and that started taking very tough steps he would send security forces to prisons they would break into prisons and beat up in me with even a fellow himself would often be there with a camera filming everything and then i think up. sure those videos to saakashvili

in order to show him what kind of prison really have built these european m.p.'s would visit people bernie 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 with us. in may i asked myself whether i wanted to serve the reach him or to be a man 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 for by you concerns about your family yes saakashvili is mentally unstable if nobody knows what he may do after i released 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 to be kept their word but somehow four or five days ago president saakashvili find out about this tape and then he told 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. believe that 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 frontage now shortly before the upcoming parliamentary election in no no they started bass by publishing their video and they contacted two of my friends and made that video with an inmate and played it from georgian t.v. what could i do have and i had this tape with two hours of footage i had to defend myself before smoove to release the videos this had nothing to do with the election i wanted georgian people to reek in their thinking and seem 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 we. can get a video of that and it's how did the peak inmates had to watch it did get political convictions have anything to do with that from isis and the love of the. they just did it for entertainment or if an inmate had something to do with politics if he was saakashvili as enemy he 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 really embodied 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 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 publish not fabricated tape to accuse me and i had to respond. with a replay of what kind of response did you expect from european institutions when he shall listen to them. saakashvili 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 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 strasburg they had a very strong response i'm sure there would be if you would listen that's not

nationally 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 who don't receive bribes but if you go higher and look at the partment chiefs for example that 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 service for over five billion in georgia's annual budget is only four billion people see these things. dazing one happened and they go down and treason is also happening in other georgian things as to. you know if. it wasn't was the

georgian prison system has eighteen prisons and torture took place and all of them got quality outs 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 salute to the street which the protests are still reaching into blysse day and night and other me just cities and they're likely to continue i think that unless saakashvili has totally lost his mind he will step down peacefully. he goes if i may just for a long time i west georgia and the south australia as a model democracy he said that's really really was succeeded in building democracy in georgia why does the west continue to that georgia's reputation as a democratic country i would not buy the image that goes. back to the qualities or

political conclusion of saakashvili as a product of the us british family and everyone in georgia is aware of it they will not tolerate for psychotic really to fail in georgia by the orange revolution fields and so did others he's the only one who's still there saakashvili has been deceiving your and america for x. or nine years so they are going to say no that's he's been a swindler and that's what he is a political swindler. what do the 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 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 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 caught 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 acholi is appointments so then we had criminal lords in the country but crime and torture weren't so obvious a no a polite get strong walks into a prison cell ice and pizza whoever he wants whichever way he wants the lemon bread he would be the cause it thank you very much for the interview. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the sun coming island is the
