Gldani prison scandal
On 18 September 2012, Georgian national TV channels broadcast several video recordings of torture and rape in Gldani Prison in the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi. The highly controversial video footage quickly went viral and as a result thousands of protesters joined spontaneous rallies in Tbilisi, Batumi, Poti, Kutaisi and Gori. Shocked by the terror and violence on TV screens, citizens are calling for justice and promise to continue their protests. Later that night Khatuna Kalmakhelidze fired David Chakua, the Chairman of the Penitentiary Department.〔(David Chakhua profile )〕 Several days later, Kalmakhelidze resigned.
==Prehistory and spreading==
Reportedly several persons suspected of inhumane treatment of prison inmates have already been detained as investigation of the case unfolds.〔
Hours before the video was released, the Georgian Interior Ministry said on Tuesday afternoon that three officials of the Gldani prison were arrested for inhuman treatment of inmates. The ministry also released footage showing two prison guards beating an inmate in a cell. The Interior Ministry has claimed that the arrested prison officials abused inmates and made video records of it in exchange for money in a deal arranged by Tamaz Tamazashvili, an inmate who is serving his jail term in the same prison facility.〔(Videos of Inmates Abuse, Rape Emerge )〕 Tamaz Tamazashvili is supported by the political party Georgian Dream, which grants him a senior position in the newly created government. They also assert that Tamaz is a political prisoner.
The video evidence of prison torture was leaked to TV channels by a former prison officer Vladimir Bedukadze, who is currently on the wanted list. In his interview to TV-9 Bedukadze claimed that torture of the inmates had been ordered by the Minister of the Interior Bacho Akhalaia and that the Minister of corrections and legal assistance Khatuna Kalmakhelidze was aware of acts of torture in various Georgian prisons.〔 Khatuna Kalmakhelidze asked for resignation later the same day.
