Nana Kakabadze Blames the Government in the Political Persecution of Her Organization

Tbilisi. 10.08.04. Media News.

Nana Kakabadze, the Chairperson of the Non-Governmental Organization “Former Political Prisoners for Human Rights” considers the fact that her organization has not been included in the list of 21 persons admitted to prisons by a special decree of the president, as a political persecution.
“I expected this decision, as we have revealed all the facts of prisoners’ rights violations and made them known to international organizations. Among the above-mentioned facts there were cases of torturing Sulkhan Molashvili, the Former Chairman of Control Chamber, the death of Giorgi Inasaridze in a pre-trial detention cell, as well as the death of Khvicha Kvirikashvili due to the fact that policemen beat him. We also provided international organizations with the list of 100 tortured people after the new government came into power” – Nana Kakabadze told Media News.
In Nana Kakabadze’s opinion it is not surprising that the non-democratic government, which has come into power with democratic slogans does not approve the activity of her organization. “I am quite sure that this opposition will transform into more complicated forms” – supposes Kakabadze.
