“Trip To Paris Canceled, Go To Leningori Now!” – Simulated Destination of Russian Soldiers for Georgian Passengers
Russian soldiers on the
background of green and yellow carriage at the Akhalgori district
administrative border look nice. If we recall the days of the armed
conflict of August of 2008, we will remember Tbilisi being afraid of
Russian tanks to enter in the capital; after that you will expect cruel
faces of Russian soldiers to stand at the checkpoint of the village of
Mosabruni in Akhalgori district… But it is not so. Russian recruits of
18-20 stand there with the face as if they are holding toy-guns instead
of real automatic weapons. They register the passengers traveling to
Akhalgori and surrounding villages with smiling faces. They seem to have
received a similar order.

village. During the war in August of 2008 Otobaia was considered to be
the most secure place in comparison Zugdidi. It might sound strange but
many residents of Zugdidi and others too were sheltered Otobaia during
the armed conflict. Today, there is no safe road towards this village;
but the life goes on in Otobaia. Teacher of the Otobaia Public School # 1
Larisa Khupenia talked with the Human Rights Center about the current
relations between the Abkhaz and Georgian peoples.

Workers on Strike Returned to Their Work under Threat of Police
Humanrights.ge published an article about the strike of
the workers at the GeoSteel Ltd in Rustavi two weeks ago. The workers
claimed they would not stop strike until the factory administration
satisfies their requirements. A worker of the GeoSteel told us: “Our
main problem is low salaries, and lack of toilets and drinking water in
the factory. We work two days and nights per week and our salary is 300
GEL. It is slavery. They know that our country is poor, people have hard
lives and they take advantage of our situation.”
