Georgian President's Office Says Detained Journalists Were Spies

Georgia's President Mikheil Saakashvili

Georgia Arrests Journalists For Spying

TEXT SIZE - +

July 08, 2011

A spokeswoman for Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili says four Georgian news photographers arrested on July 7 were part of a "spying network."

The spokeswoman added that the photographers' arrests had "nothing to do with their journalism."

The detained photojournalists are accused of spying for a foreign country, although Georgian officials have yet to name the country involved.

The detainees are Zurab Kurtsikidze, a photographer for the European Pressphoto Agency; freelancer Giorgi Abdaladze; and Saakashvili's personal photographer, Irakli Gedenidze, together with his wife Natia Gedenidze, also a photographer.

AP photographer Shakh Aivazov was also briefly detained and released without charges.

Lawyers for Kurtsikidze and Abdaladze say their clients deny wrongdoing.

Saakashvili and Georgia must be carefull with such matters.

Not because it isn't true, Russia always spy - Russians and their proxies are everywhere, even in USA government.

But because of the ground work lying Russia did on non-Russians, specially on Georgians, since 1956.

Also it is the race war that Russia unleashed (more than just technical spying they do too) in which case one must consider a fine line that sometimes emerges between a crime and a "political crime" or alleged "paranoya" and "take medications" - always used by urinating on their victims Russian propaganda department.

Let me give an examlple:

Estonia was bashed yestarday on Russian TV channel "Vesti" for having "paranoya" and Russia sent them for "medications".
In reality it was usual Russian bestial intention, sold as "legitimate Political crime" - while Russia was blackmailing Estonia not to resist possible Russian invasion (like into Georgia in 2008), made it laughable in eyes of the World, made World look another direction (like during China Olimpics) and if Russia would invade - Russia trying make Estonia already look as "paranoid" aggressor.
In the same time Russians are spying by provoking Estonians to say what they would do when Russia invade, how many tanks and newer weapon of 21 Century tirrany hanchmen and threat ot A-bomb Russia would need to do it fast and without lossess to canning Rashkas, and whom put on the lists to murder first, as they did in Abkhazia.

If Russia didn't yet have all spying info on the ground, they probably have just spies in Estonia too - making lists of official Estonian personal and potential resistance members and any weapon and amunition they have - to liqvidate,
possibly even put in advance telepatic suggestions in their head - for canning race war of expanding Rashkas...

@ "Kostya"?: If I get you right, you're saying that "Russia" (the FSB, Putin) still have territorial ambitions on former "Soviet" territories (esp. Georgia, but also Estonia, Latvia etc.) & are constantly engaged in destablilizing governments & provoking incidents that will justify military invasion & takeover (as per the "war" in Georgia). But Sakaasvilii & Co. still need to be careful not to play into Russian hands by overreacting & getting paranoid about these Russian efforts at infiltration & psychological warfare. Am I correct?

Eric, why am I Kostya, thought it is what probably Russians are using on Konstantins?
Anywhere, Russia is not just Putin and his FSB.

First of all it is national conspiracy of ethnic Russians that goes back since Varanga invasion 11 centuries ago into Eastern Europe, Katrin the II, Zarist times, Lenin's expansion and, finally, 1954-56 pact between Russians of Varanga and Prussian extraction with the Quin-mother and Bechtel family.

They armed Russian conspirators, secretly from USA government, with
A-bomb concentrate high productiont plants to have many small A-bombs in possession of ethnic Russians against CIS nations, separately from USSR arsenals - to restore again colonial empires.

That program included also murder of 150,000 non-Russians in 1955, mostly Georgians, to silence in advance critics of Russian lies and crimes against humanity and CIS nations.
It included Khrutchev lie against Stalin and all that followed - influx of ethnic Russians into non-Russian land, properties and jobs, turning non-Russians into second sort citizens, mastered by Russians.
It included transfer all wealth to Russian federation and to Russian occupiers, till Brezhnev demanded asbolishment of Constitutional republics and restoration of new Imperial Russia.
It included World-Wild propaganda and outrageous smearing of non-Russian nations and history...

That is nature of Russia that commanded by most of Russians, lead by new fluid form racist Union of Russian People and their military.
It is they, their generals and "Third Force", under command of Russian generals that expanding Russia.

Did you say "Ambitions"?
Varanga Neanderthals nature is to grabb land and property and devour the World - one doesn't call "ambitions" pack of hyenas eating alive a little lion with human heart!
In 1954-56 Russians were already screaming on streets of former USSR as packs of hyenas:
"Russia must expand in each generation and breed in each neighboring country!"
Exactly Eric!
Just as I said - ask Russian Generals, living like Zcars in stolen from Georgia palaces and resourts areas in Abkhazia and Sochi!
They say: "It is ours forever" - to breed Varanga Neanderthals and expand!
Not "ambitions" - the nature of breed of usurping power of USSR animals
that running operations of expanding Russia - from genocide in
Afghanistan through murder of the last Polish government...

If it isn't so - let Russia give back all land and property, repent and pay for its crimes.

One more correction - it is correct about Saakashvili and other CIS leaders - except - STILL DEFEND YOUR COUNTYRY AND DEMAND RETURN OF LAND AND PROPERTY FOR ONSEELF AND FOR ALL NON-RUSSIAN NATIONS TOO - while nail Russian provocateurs of World Public Opinion!

PS:
I have to write in prose, thought it is shorter and catchier use some type of rime, not unlike a telegaph massages,
because for all to long the Russian, Bechtel and other agencies of telepathy getting more and more to me, trying make me sound incoherent or rude.
Still, I find difficult to deny myself a pleasure to add a versus
to humor the uforia of Russian generals and selebrations
of annexation of Sochi, Abkhazia and Tchinvali - and Pushkin, the Efiopa...

Not unlike the Roman Emperors, f..ing all Europas
Russian generals Moving in "vazhnyiy" manner Zh..as
In annexed Georgian Abkhazia and Sochi palace's bath,
Sellebrating murders - from Afghanistan's president Abas
Through murder of government of Poland: "Glory to red .ss!"

"It belongs to us and Russia", saying grabbing Russian leaders,
But unlike betrayers of Rome and Reme, they use bath as fiders,
Get pregnant non-Russian girls, like Osetins - to breed snitches,
Used as Gauliters (to justify annexations) - controlled by witches.
