Georgian press - November 19

A Very Dangerous Tendency

'The public attitude towards the law enforcers has dramatically changed since November 7. Soldiers, security guards and police workers avoid wearing uniforms if they have a chance to,' the Kviris Palitra writes in one of today's article. The article tells a story of the elite battalion servicemen, who were banished from a restaurant a couple of days ago, because 'there was no place for them beside Georgians'. 'Some policemen I know told me they had never taken scolding so calmly as now - they could not say just anything in their defense. To be short, the image of a policeman, which was built during long years, was crushed on just one day – November 7,' the publication reads.

Question That Must Be Answered

'The authority insulted Georgian shrines on November 7, the Kviris Kronika reports. 'They threw the gas capsules in the churches where intoxicated and injured people were trying to hide from the violence in Rustaveli. The Sioni Church young priests vainly tried to stop the special soldiers, who did not mercy them too and responded them with gas and rubber bullets. Later when the developments shifted to Rike, Metechi and Sameba Cathedrals were also targeted.' 'We have been notified that several spiritual leaders, Senior Priest of the Peter-Paul's Church Father Archil and Church Hierarch Iobi, were supposed to be killed,' the edition writes in 'Authority Terrorizes Priests'.
