Natelashvili: President of Georgia is the head of "death squadrons"

According to Mikhail Machavariani, Vice-Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, the yesterday's events in the district capital of Tsalendzhikha showed that the country is governed not by President-politician, but by President - head of "death squadrons".

In Tbilisi Hospital No. 8, the oppositionists beaten yesterday in Zugdidi are examined. Deputies Bezhan Gunava, Bidzina Gudzhabidze, member of the NGO "Equality Institute" Lasha Chkhartishvili and Soso Robakidze, father of Amiran Robakidze, 19, killed by the patrol policeman, are under examination.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported earlier that a serious incident happened between the opposition and representatives of the Georgian government in the West-Georgian district capital of Tsalendzhikha.

We remind you that yesterday the leaders of the united Georgian opposition held a protest meeting in Zugdidi (Western Georgia), during which they called local population to take an active part in the general meeting of the opposition planned for November 2 near the building of the Parliament of Georgia.
