Georgian Oppposition Broadcasts From Jail Posted by Danny Jensen on April 9, 2009 at 4:03 pm

Tens of thousands of Georgian protesters gathered in the streets today to demand the resignation of President Mikheil Saakashvili, and while this demonstration is more peaceful than ones in the past, one opposition figure remains in jail until the controversial leader’s removal from office.  While Giorgi Gachechiladze’s jail cell may not be real,  his show “Cell No. 5″, broadcasts locally and on YouTube, providing a revolutionary forum for political discussion.  Giorgi and his guests, who include significant leaders in the opposition party and former allies to Saakashvili, discuss the Presidents  mismanagement of the government, political corruption charges and handling of the war with Russia.  If you understand Georgian you can watch the videos on YouTube or watch this feature from Russia Today:
