December 08
`There are political prisoners with Armenian nationality among the
arrested and freed by the Georgian Parliament, the name of the famous
political activist Vahagn Chakhalyan is not found in the list,' said
expert in Georgian studies Alik Eroyants to Aysor.am touching upon the
decision of the Georgian Parliament about granting amnesty to 190
political prisoners.
He mentioned that Vahagn Chakhalyan's crime was considered a serious
offense and according to the Georgian side that was why that he was
not included in that list.
`Vahagn Chakhalyan's supporters who struggled for his freedom had done
a lot on international level, however Chakhalyan's PR inside Georgia
was weak,' Eroyants noticed.
According to him, active work of Chakhalyan's proponents in the future
may affect positively on his release.
The expert of Georgian studies noticed that amnesty was granted to
around 2.000-3.000 people in general, and to many political prisoners
in that number.
`During Saakashvili's reign many prisons have been built, the coming
power, however, has decided not to keep so many prisoners. It is
included in their new political course, it can also be called a kind
of political gesture,' the speaker added.
