Georgian ex-minister on hunger strike to protest vote results

TBILISI, January 13 (RIA Novosti) - Georgia's ex-defense minister and opposition leader, Irakly Okruashvili, has gone on a hunger strike to protest the January 5 presidential vote results, Georgian Rustavi-2 TV company said on Sunday.

Okruashvili, once a key ally of the U.S.-educated president, Mikheil Saakashvili, is currently in French jail following his extradition from Germany where he was detained on the request of the Georgian Prosecutor's Office over corruption charges. Okruashvili earlier sought political asylum in France.

"Okruashvili has been on a hunger strike for the fourth consecutive day. He demands a second round of the presidential elections [in Georgia]. He does not intend to halt his hunger strike," his lawyer Yekaterina Beseliya told Rustabi-2.

Georgia's central election commission on Sunday officially announced Saakashvili as the winner of the early presidential poll in the South Caucasus republic with 53.47% of the vote while his nearest rival, united opposition candidate Levan Gachechiladze, won 25.69% of the votes.

However, the Georgian opposition earlier said the election results were rigged and demanded a second round in the presidential elections. The Georgian opposition also said it would hold a 'peaceful' protest on January 13.

Early presidential elections were announced in Georgia after demonstrators had taken to the streets from November 2-7 demanding the resignation of President Saakashvili over corruption allegations. The protests were eventually put down by riot police, and Saakashvili subsequently announced early elections for January 5.

Saakashvili was elected as Georgian president following mass demonstrations during the country's 2003 "Rose" revolution, when former president Eduard Shevardnadze was swept from office following allegations of election fraud.

And I noticed that you like to change the subject of a thread and post unrelated comments.

Hardly unrelated or changing the subject, December...I'm merely pointing out the possibility that Georgia's previous administration was equally if not more facist, despite not being sponsored by the US. Try removing those blinkers.

In fact, here's a reminder about how that changeover happened:

Not one person was injured, not a drop of blood was spilled.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to protest against the flawed results of a parliamentary election.

The demonstrators demanded the resignation of Eduard Shevardnadze, a man who had ruled Georgia for more than 30 years in total, as its Soviet-era Communist Party boss and its longest-serving post-independence president.

Mr Shevardnadze told protesters they risked causing a civil war and he deployed hundreds of soldiers on the streets of Tbilisi.

At that point, student demonstrators decided to give red roses to the soldiers.

Many soldiers laid down their guns.

You claimed that previous administration (I assume you mean government) was Russian-sponsored.
Well, you just don't know what you are talking about, Matt W.
Do you at least know the name a previous president?
