Rezonansi reports that 9 military officials were arrested in Russia and accused of spying in favor of Georgia. One of the arrested individuals is a Georgian citizen. The retired Colonel Beso Aladashvili said that the previous Georgian government did not do anything in order to protect human rights and help to improve their conditions.
Military experts say it is cynical when President Saakashvili talks about the possibility that prisoners charged for spying for Russia and were set free after the law on amnesty went into power, could be exchanged for those arrested in Russia with the same charges. Aladashvili says there have been chances of exchanging prisoners previously, but the government never took the chance to. He says that the new government should not be criticized, when the previous government has not done anything possible for legal or social protection of those who were arrested in Russia and needed protection.”
