Members of the coalition Georgian Dream are demanding justice in front of the Gardabani district administration building. This is the inscription on the banner behind which there are two tents pitched.

Goderdzi Kiknadze enjoyed more special privileges than other inmates in number 6 prison in Rustavi. For years he was able to use such items as: a notebook, mobile, TV, iron and armchair.

After a tense pre-election campaign when two activists of Georgian Dream were imprisoned for 70 days, the ballot process was conducted in a peaceful environment.

On October 3, MIA representatives kept silence about the statement which they made on October 1 and alleged about mass distribution of money in the name of concrete political party in the regions of Georgia.

From September 15 to September 26, Information Center of Kakheti observed 14 cases of detention of the Georgian Dream’s supporters – 12 of them finished with administrative imprisonment; 9 facts of beating of political parties’ activists – 2 of them resulted into the body injury; 4 facts of failing pre-election meetings, 1 fact of firing person from job; 4 cases of oppression, 5 facts of abuse of administrative resources.

Human Rights Center, which observed elections on October 1, intends to appeal to the prosecutor’s office against fabrication of election results by Signagi DEC members and personnel.

Relatives of the inmates of Rustavi Prison # 16 appealed to Human Rights Center for help. They said prisoners had prepared a collective petition and handed it to the Public Defender’s Office. More than 1 500 prisoners signed it and they have requested the publication of the petition.
