injured in the incident. We were taken to hospital and then to police station for questioning”, said one of the injured people Angel Borchasvili to ICK. Nearly one hour later, injured persons were released from police office. Georgian Dream‟s members took Khizir Kushanashvili back to hospital because his health conditions worsened. Giorgi Svanishvili, surgeon at Telavi district hospital, said patients had minor injuries and there was no need to keep them in hospital for medical treatment. But Zurab Zviadauri sent Kushanashvili and Borchasvili for additional analysis in Tbilisi. On September 10, Zurab Zviadauri told ICK that after the Coalition‟s assembly finished in Telavi, strangers had assaulted 8 more young people besides Khizir Kushanashvili and Angel Borchashvili; though they did not receive serious injuries: “10 people were beaten; some of them have bruises on the eyes, others have lips and head injured; everybody, except Kushanashvili and Borchashvili, had light injuries and did not apply to hospital for help,” Zurab Zviadauri said and added that medical examinations in Tbilisi diagnosed brain concussion on Khizir Kushanashvili. “Tomography and other tests showed that he has acute form of brain concussion. Doctors recommended to stay in bed and take medical treatment; he is already at home,” Zviadauri said. Criminal case was launched on the incident. Telavi police is investigating the case. Law enforcement officers have not arrested anybody yet. Deputy Secretary of the National Security Council Tamar Kintsurashvili commented on the fact and said investigation is going on the assault of young people and law enforcement agencies will adequately respond to it. 41 21. Armed people broke into the houses of Georgian Dream‟s supporters in Kvareli On September 10 armed people broke into the houses of the Georgian Dream‟s supporters in Tkhilistskaro village, Kvareli district. “It was about 2:00 am. They jumped over the closed gate; they were five and had guns. One of them approached me lying in the bed and asked why we all had left village?” Elza Tigashvili told ICK. On September 9 she and her neighbors went to Telavi to attend the Georgian Dream‟s assembly. “They made my husband get up and 41 http://www.youtube.com/watchv=1nxStGF8CME&feature=player_embedded 36
said they were from police. I asked them to allow me to get up but they ordered to stay in bed; he had pointed gun at me. They asked what was happening there? We said we had attended Ivanishvili‟s assembly and asked what they needed from us. He said they were looking for Shorena. There was no Shorena in our house. They had already visited our neighbors and told them they were looking for Eliza; in the other family they said they were looking for Temo. They visited every family to scare people. Similar fact had never occurred before and why it coincided with the assembly. Everybody had weapon except one. They inquired why we had all left the village. We said everybody had gone to the assembly except old people; we had travelled there by three mini-buses and some of us were even standing on feet in the bus,” Elza Tigashvili said. “When they broke into the house my child got shocked; he started screaming. I also screamed and told them it was my own choice whom to vote on the Election Day. They said they did not care about votes; they were looking for Shorena. They were asking stupid questions and visited almost every family in the village. Only I dare to speak about this incident; people are scared and do not speak. I can recognize the person who had gun; he was a young boy. I asked him what was the matter and he said they would kill my husband. I said I wanted to get up but he ordered to stay in bed and cursed,” Elza Tigashvili said. Her neighbor Ketevan Gagnidze also confirmed the information about the attack on the families late at night on September 10. “We support Georgian Dream but we got afraid; you know what is happening regarding this election. My husband looked out when they called; he had stoke and has not been able to speak for four months. The armed person asked him the surname; they did not do any harm to us and left saying they had mixed up the family. They inquired Elza‟s house. They had visited some other families in our neighborhood. They returned in the morning and asked me to boil coffee for them. Having drunk it they left; they spoke perfect Georgian,” Ketevan Gagnidze told ICK. According to the information spread in the village, the armed people were looking for certain Shorena. However ICK found out that the strangers had not entered the families whose members had 37
