A full-blown political crisis is developing in Georgia after police detained former defense minister-turned-opposition leader Irakli Okruashvili. The arrest came just days after Okruashvili made sensational allegations concerning President Mikheil Saakashvili’s involvement in unconstitutional activity. Shortly before being taken into custody, Okruashvili gave a wide-ranging interview to EurasiaNet. In that interview, Okruashvili outlined his priorities for change and elaborated on his claims and critiques -- ranging from murder conspiracy to authoritarianism -- made against Saakashvili and his administration.

Re: Georgian Democracy 4ever!
Okruashvili, the leader of opposition, was arrested less than 1 day after he published information that Saakashvili was involved in political murders, diversions and corruption.
On the next day protesters were beaten by the police. Office of Okruashvili's party was blocked by police, destroyed and closed. Electricity in the whole Tbilisi was switched off. It seems like it was done to prevent Georgians from watching TV and protesting.
