Opposition not allowed to photograph Saakashvili

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionSend to friendSend to friendPDF versionPDF version

Opposition activists have had their cameras seized after they took photographs of President Mikheil

 

Saakashvili, his helicopter and his escort in Zugdidi reports InterPressNews.

 

Activists from Defend Georgia were told it was illegal to photograph the president's escort.

As the photograph here, of President Saakashvili at the military front-line in South Ossetia, shows such a law, if it exists at all, has never been applied if the photograph is deemed to be helpful to promoting Saakashvili's image as a macho man of action.

As usual in Georgia one law applies to the president and his cronies and another to everyone else.
