(Tbilisi, 25 May, 1991) - In an open letter addressed to the ISHR (International Socieity for Human Rights, Frankfurt/Main) Georgij Chanturia, president of the oppositional National Democratic Party of Georgia describes situation with democracy and human rights while new Gamsahurdia's government:
"Now Georgia haves 72 political prisoners who are beaten and tortured. In Georgia people are prosecuted on political, national, religious reasons, <...> they can be dismissed from their job, kidnaped. The oppositional activists are beaten, mass media are monopolized by government, the rights for freedom of moving and for juridical defence are violated. <...> Georgia has fight against Communists not to change totalitarism by authoritarism. We don't want to be such 'independent' as Romania while Ceausescu or Albania under Enver Hoja."
G. Chanturia specifies today's Georgian government of Gamsahurdia as "national bolsheviks who want to establish the fascist dictatorship in Georgia".
