Pre-Election Squabbles in Shida Kartli

During the pre-election campaign the United People’s Movement has visited almost all the villages in the Gori and Kaspi region. Koba Davitashvili headed this election campaign. Actually the regional coordinator of the headquarter is MP Teo Tlashadze, but nowadays Koba Davitashvili is taking over her duties. Davitashvili was met by people supporting the government and basically they expressed their dissatisfaction towards Teo Tlashadze. Koba Davitashvili was protecting Teo Tlashadze rather than introducing an election program.

The most successful region for the opposition leader was the Kaspi region. Davitashvili is originally from the village of Kavtiskhevi in the Kaspi region and that is why he was able to introduce the program of Levan Gachechiladze, the presidential candidate of united opposition, without being interrupted. Khatuna Tatanashvili, a member of the Republican Party, has noticed that the local security officers were chasing them. The police also checked the houses of those people who were visiting them: “Before our arrival the police officers were warning the population not to meet Davitashvili, otherwise they would be included in the special list of the intelligence service,” - stated Khatuna Tatanashvili.

His last visit was to the village Doesi. From Doesi he moved to the Gori region, in particular to Kvatiskhevi, his mother’s home village, and Upliscikhe. Koba Davitashvili started with the district where he spent much time during his childhood. He was mainly welcomed by his childhood friends and relatives. This district is called “Lekiant Ubani” and the residents promised support to Koba Dvitashvili.

During this meeting, an incident has happened. The people complained about Teo Tlashadze. Vano Nuskheladze has reminded the MP of the promises she made in 2004 when the governor was Mikheil Kareli. Teo Tlashadze promised the local popu

Georgia under President Mikheil Saakashvili has been hailed by Western governments as an example of a successful transition to democracy in the former Soviet Union. However, the fragility of Georgia's commitment to human rights and the rule of law was revealed on November 7, 2007, when government forces used violent and excessive force to disperse a series of largely peaceful demonstrations in the capital, Tbilisi. In the course of breaking up the demonstrations law enforcement officers hastily resorted to the use of teargas and rubber bullets. Police and other law enforcement personnel, many of them masked, pursued fleeing demonstrators of all ages, kicking and punching them and striking them with truncheons, wooden poles, and other objects. Heavily armed special troops raided the private television station Imedi, threatening and ejecting the staff and damaging or destroying much of the station's equipment. Outside the studios, Imedi staff and their supporters found themselves set upon by riot police again using teargas and rubber bullets and pursuing those who fled. Extensive photographic and video evidence captured that day by journalists and others illustrates these incidents.

The violence capped several days of peaceful demonstrations by Georgia's opposition parties and supporters, who were calling for parliamentary elections to be held in early 2008 and for the release of individuals whom they consider political prisoners, among other demands. It contrasted sharply with the reputation the Georgian government-brought to power by the 2003 Rose Revolution-had cultivated for being committed to human rights and the rule of law.

The Georgian government denies the widespread use of violence against demonstrators. It maintains that law enforcement officers used legitimate means to disperse protestors who were holding illegal demonstrations, and accuses demonstrators of initiating violence against police. The government also claims that oppositi
