Police III Massivi beats Holland journalist and friend of Georgia for two and a half hour

10 december 2010

Dear Sandra,

In this kind of Police Car from III Massiv I was kept for two and a half hours, in the early morning of 4 October, in the backseat of the car. There sitting in the backseat with my hands on my back with metal bracelets I was beaten on my face and head, on my back and on my cheast many times.

Also the Police, all dressed in Geogian Police Uniforms, put burning sigaretts on my ears and were using some kind of needle to terorise me. The Police spit on my head also and were inquiring about the relation with my Georgian girlfriend.

Every time a car passed by, my head was pushed more forward so nobody in the passing car could see me. A few times I shouted Misverlet - help in Georgian - from the window, but when I did this, I was more beaten by your Georgian Police.

After two and a half hour I was finally able to stretch my legs a bit because I asked to have a toilet break.

I remember Rustavi 2 TV journalist came by and made a small interview with me. I also hear later that the owner of the Cafe that I rented was interviewed about me by Rustavi.

After 3 hours I was driven to an official buro where I was shortly questioned by a girl, an apprentice, stagiair we say in Dutch, who spoke little German.

I decided to say not to much to her, I showed her by taking of my shirt where I was beaten by the Police and when the Police Officers that beat me saw this, they got angry because I was little undressing myself to show my damages.

At about 5 o clock I was released from this official buro, totally in shock what was done to be by the Georgian Police.

I took outside a taxi to Metechi Palace where I dronk with the taxi driver Jacobs Coffee from Bremen...

This beautifull foto is taken by Martijn from http://www.ditisdenhaag.nl/ on the 3d of december and published at 6 december. Martijn photographed me on 3 december in Den Haag, around luchtime, next to the Hofvijver, the lake next to our beautiful Parliament, and the fish shop Buitenhof, where I was eating kibbeling, very nice hot pieces of fish, with Buitenhof sauce.

Here on this picture you can see me on my - bicycle - way to the Georgian Embassy on the Groot Hertogginnelaan close to the Russian Embassy, to meet Georgian embassador Shota Gvineria.

In my Holland Action bag, that was in Tbilisi during the World Championship Soccer in South-Africa, I brought a real Langedijk cabbage from farmer Gerard Kamper from the Swaan in Zuid-Scharwoude. I have presented this cabbage as a symbol of the village Langedijk, that has so much agricultural experiences and contacts, useful for Georgia. Please ask Marina Todua how to cook this cabbage, batono Shota. I bring for her two cabbages that were on my boat during sail Amsterdam. She can cook it so nice...

The bicycle and wooden shoes are 100 % Dutch culture. The red and black, now I would say kvanchkara wine colour (Kvanchkara is wine from Racha area, one of the best red wines of Georgia) scarve i wear around my neck is more than 25 years old and was handmade by Nanda Vlam from Warmenhuizen, my first love when I was 20 years young.
In Warmenhuizen you find also Bejo company, see www.bejo.com

On my head I wear a typical handmade Georgian hat, that I bought on Rustaveli avenue, close to Rustaveli metro and the building of the Academy of Sciences where Michael Saakasvili went voting on 4th of january 2004.

The Georgian flag coming out of my bag is the flag that I have shown at Sail Amsterdam in august. The flag was recognised by our future King, Prins Willem-Alexander, when I was passing the beautiful yacht of his mother, Queen Beatrix, the Groene Dreack, the Green Dragon, where Willem-Alexander was enjoying the passing boats.

Prince Willem-Alexander is what we call in Dutch de beschermheer of Sail Amsterdam, the official protector. I drunk with our future King on the 27th of august at around 11.00 clock in the morning three glasses of Shtandart Vodka in the captains hut of the Shtandart, the replica of the flagship of Peter the Great, built in Saint-Petersburg in the period 1995-2000.

The woolen sweater I wear, you can see little bit coming out of my coat, is handmade in Georgia from Georgian sheep. Marina Todua organised it for me in 2005. The sweater was made by two woman in Varketili. It keeps me warm in the strong Holland winter now. But also when i went skiing in Bakurianai and Gudauri in Georgia...

The green coat I wear is a a coat from Lithuania that was presented to me by Egidijus and Geidre, who live in Lithuania and who are friends from Aida Kleivaite, the mother of my son Nidas, who is from Kleipeda, the port city of Lithuania.

On the back site of the coat is the name Dolena, it is the company where Egidijus works. Dolena builds very nice wooden log houses and exports them to countries in Scandinavia and Germany also. See www.dolena.lt .

So on the photo you see a world citizen from the global village Langedijk, dressed with Holland, Lithuanian and Georgian things.

Also watch his damaged glasses. He was beaten three times in one week in Tbilisi, Georgia, one time severely for more than two hours by III Massivi Police in police uniforms, and mr Brandsma is asking his Dutch Embassy in Tbilisi for help to officially do something about this Police Attack on an honest citizen from the Netherlands, friend of Georgia since january 1998.

No communication from Tbilisi Court to the verdict the deported Marcel Maria Brandsma

This is - picture down - how the Iveria Hotel opposite Rustaveli metro looked like when I saw it first time, in january 1998.

But also when I came to Tbilisi in january 2004, Iveria Hotel was still full with refugees from Abchazia...

But renovations started when Michael Saakasvili became President and in september 2009 Michael Saakasvili reopened the newly renovated hotel. I was there also, on the official opening day, to see a beautiful fireworks during the opening night.

I had a tour at the Hotel and the view from the top floor, where there is a bar called Oxygen bar, and a swimming pool, is fabulous.

My first drink in the Surface bar was off course a Saperavi Wine and a Borjomi Mineral Water and I will give Zviad Cruise, the food and beverage manager only a tip if I can drink also an Amstel beer in his Oxygen bar.

If the First Lady from Georgia is Dutch, Amstel Beer from Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, should be in the bar with the most beautiful view in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.

From the moment the hotel is open I have been visiting the Oxygen Bar frequently to enjoy the views of the city. You feel like being the captain of Tbilisi in the captains hut... my nautical brains whisper me.

When the hotel was opened in september, some expat whispered somewhere on Rustaveli in my ears... Again an empty hotel, that will be the fourth five star hotel that is going to be empty in Tbilisi. He mentioned the Metechi Palace, the Old Mariotti and Mariotti Courtyard, all most of the time empty hotels after Georgia had a war with Russia.

From the Oxygen bar of the Radisson you can see down the Kempinsky Hotel, that needed an investment of 150 million dollars. This decission was made in january 2008, I met the English adviser of the decission makers in the Courtyard Mariotti.

The renovation of Kempinsky has stopped in 2009 because of the financial crisis worldwide and due of the war between Georgia and Russia with a big decline in investors, coming to Tbilisi... .

Monday 6 december 2010

Dear Sandra,

Georgian Law does not allow me to travel to Tbilisi to do my own defense in the Tbilisi Court. This was said by Embassador Shota Gvineria, who I met last week in the Embassy of the Hague. I hope I get a positive answer on the letter that I wrote to your husband in which I asked to do my own defense in Tbilisi during my appeal ?

It has been postponed again and now it is on your birthday, Sandra, the 23th of December, and how nice it would be that I can come again normal to your second country, the country of your husband Misha, from the day that you turn 42 ?

You will have a bussy birthday week that week. First it is your second son Nikoesja, who celebrates his 5th birthday on the 19th of december. I got from you a birthday card when he was born in december 2005. Then on the 21th december it is Mishas birthday. And on the 23th december it is your birthday !

And the day of my appeal in Tbilisi court..

From my Dutch embassy in Tbilisi I was previously informed that on thursday 9 december my appeal against my deportation will be discussed, starting 4 pm.

I have not been informed by the Georgian Government about this, nor my representative Zaza Maisuradze, so I have written the following email to z.bokhua at court.ge and I hope this person understands english and answers my mail asap.

The mail has the same content like all the other mails I have sent. The fact that there is no communication at all from the Tbilisi Court or the Legal Aid Service to me or my representative Zaza Maisuradze. To be continued ...

Dear Batono Bokhua,

Do you speak English ?

I am the person from Holland who was deported from your country on the 26th of oCtober. I think I am the first Dutch Person in Georgian history who was deported from Sakartvelo ?

I have not received any information about my appeal after my court case on 26 of October until tuesday 30 november at 6 pm.

It was my friend Zaza Maisuradze, who I have authorised to deal with all my affairs through an official notar document, who informed me about my court case, that should take place at 2 december at 2 pm.

But this session was cancelled because I was not officially informed, confirmed by my Holland Embassy behind Metechi Palace. The Dutch Embassy sent me a document much too late !

Now I hear that the session is taking place on the 9th of december at 4 pm.

Well, this information has not reached me or my representative Zaza Maisuradze officially through a mail of your Tbilisi Court.

How can I prepare myself for this case if I do not know when it is ?

I want to ask you to again cancel the court case from 9 december, because the advocat that I was given from the Legal Aid Service, Mamuka Basilashvili, has not made any contact with me or with my friend Zaza Maisuradze since I was deported.

All he has done was write a letter to your court that I want go against the decission of the 26th of october.

Well, this was something, Zaza Maisuradze could also have done. From the Legal Aid Service advocat the aid was minimum. And I expect maximum.

So my questions to you are the following:

1) Can you cancel again the court case of 9 december ? Because officially I or my representative Zaza Maisuradze are not informed until now !

2) Can you tell me how much time the court of Tbilisi gives for persons to prepare themselves for the court case, when the announcement for the court case is made ?

3) When the court case is cancelled again, can you inform me as soon as possible when will be the next date ? And not like now and last week, that we have to find out ourselves ?
My contact details are in Holland toidverdroif@quicknet.nl for email and my phone is + 31 6 19 78 69 97

My contactperson in Tbilisi is Zaza Maisuradze, tel 8 99 270 870.

Looking forward to hear from you soon,

Well, Sandra, the result is now, because of my letters, that the appeal is postponed until the day of your birthday, the 23d of december, at 2 pm. At the time that you are serving maybe zelfgemaakte lekkere Hollandse appeltaart - homemade tasty Dutch apple pie - to your guests on the menu of the Tbilisi Court is my appeal.

I hope I have enough time to organise all the necessary documents. This is very difficult because of the language barriers, the 5000 km distance, the cultural differences and my minimum financial situation.

Special Request to the President of Georgia

The lillies that you see on the photo are coming from Tsavkisi, where Eldari Baidashvili grew them out of bulbs from VWS Flowerbulbs from Broek op Langedijk. The foto is made by Afto, a stylist who was working before in the Vaxi shop in Nikoladze in Perovskaya.
The bulbs were brought to Tbilisi by Marcel Maria Brandsmas indmezarme. In 2008 Marcel Brandsma drove from Langedijk together with Marina Todua from III Massivi a VW Transporter more than 5000 km to Tbilisi with in the minibus about ten thousand pieces of lilia bulbs.


Dear Sandra,

Today, friday 3 december, I have a meeting with your Ambassador in The Hague. This text that follows first is in Dutch and I have added it to this letter, because you say you will do your best to help your ambassador Shota with action and advise.

You are right, once I had felt the Georgian cultural showers, it does not leave me anymore. All my eyes and ears are focussed on you, because you promissed to be the eyes and the ears of the President on your first Pirveli Kali First Lady Morning at 4 am, 5 january 2004, in the Metechi Palace.

I have written a letter for the President that I will deliver today at 4 pm at your Ambassador in The Hague. I wonder if I get an answer and also how quickly.

This is from the side of the Embassy of Georgia in the Netherlands.

Onze website is vernieuwd! We hopen dat u bij het doorbladeren van onze pagina’s nieuwsgierig wordt om in Georgië zaken te komen doen, erheen te reizen, Georgische liederen en taal te leren, gerechten te bereiden. Als u eenmaal kennis hebt gemaakt met dit paradijs op aarde, laat het u niet meer los.

Ik wens Shota, onze nieuwe ambassadeur, veel succes in zijn missie en zal mijn best doen om hem in raad en daad bij te staan.

Sandra Elisabeth RoelofsFirst Lady van Georgië.

And this is the letter I have given to your Ambassador Shota.

I am a person who went to Georgia many times, started to do business there, learned the alfabet and the language and some songs, Zuliko and Tbiliso, enjoyed my times in Georgia very much but also got in many troubles and therefore I hope you can help me with solving some of the problems I encountered, Sandra.


To the President of Sakartvelo, Michael Saakasvili

The Hague, The Netherlands, 3 december 2010

Dear President of Georgia,

I had the unexpected "pleasure" to be deported from your lamazi Sakartvelo on the 26 th of october. I guess I am the Pirveli Dutchman who is deported from the capital of the Caucasus ?

Ofcourse I want have a process against this unfair decission, that felt like an attack, a robbery, an O V E R V A L your wife Sandra would say.

The first court case with my appeal was yesterday, 2 december 2010, 2 pm Tbilisi Court Time.

But it was cancelled because I was not informed about the Process.

A new process will be, if I am well informed, coming thursday 9 december 2010 in Tbilisi Court.

I would like to ask the Permission of the President of Sakartvelo, to defend myself in this court case, to come to Tbilisi as soon as possible, so I can prepare myself for this important court case, not only for me, but for the reputation of Georgias Justice in the Netherlands.

Please answer my question as soon as possible. I know you are very bussy, but maybe your wife Sandra is this weekend in Holland to celebrate "Sinterklaas" and I can fly with her on monday back to your beautiful country with bevri problems ?


Marcel Maria Brandsma

Note on 10 december

As you can read in my other letter to Sandra, the court has postponed my case until your birthday, the 23 th of december, so there is plenty of time for the staff of the President of Georgia to answer my letter... and hopefully I get a positive answer !

letter to the Judge about my deportation decision

Marcel Brandsma in Moscow, in december 2002, visiting the Georgian consulate to get a visa to travel to Georgia. Mr Brandsma also went to the Georgian Embassy in Moscow to meet up with Teimuraz Gamtsemlidze, second man of Georgia in Moscow during Shevardnadze time.

Mr Brandsma met mr Gamtsemlidze before in Brussels and Alkmaar, but also already in 1999 in Airport Wassenaar near The Hague, when President Shevardnadze landed there for an official meeting with Queen Beatrix. Mr Brandsma put the model of the Solar Village of Aspindza back under the presidential plane...when it was exposed in Sustain 1999, worlds biggest renewable energy conference in RAI Amsterdam.

This photo is a historical picture, because nowadays you can travel to Georgia without visa, so no more visits to consulates anymore. Marcel Brandsma paid in spring 2004 in Brussels more than 200 euros for a multivisa for Georgia for one year. A few months later Misha decided that all EU-visitors could enter Georgia without applying for visa anymore...

Thursday 2 december 2010, 13.13 hours Holland Time

Dear Sandra,

In Tbilisi there is plenty of nice weather, but Holland is covered under a white blanket of snow and winter is everywhere with temperatures much below zero Celsius. It is cold in my caravan, but I survive.

Maybe you fly this weekend to Holland, because of Sinterklaas ? I can imagine you want be with your parents in Zeeland with your youngest son Nikoesja, who will be turning five soon and who still believes that Sinterklaas is a reality ? He is named after Nicholoz, it sounds almost the same like Nikolaas.

I also can imagine you want show your children as much as possible our beautifull cultural things in Holland, far away from the daily troubles in Sakartvelo.

Definitely, Sinterklaas is one of the most important cultural features of the Netherlands that brings us in the art of poetry and creating surprises !!!

In Sakartvelo you are Pirveli Kali all the time, but I can imagine in Holland and Zeeland you still have the opportunity to be a simple mother of two lovely children and whose husband is much abroad for business ?

Or are you also recognised everywhere, nowadays in Zeeland ?

Have you already received my letter that I sent to your parents about cooperation for Asatiani ?

When you see Misha, can you tell Misha about what has happened to me this week ?

All details you find in my letter that I have send to my tardjimani Zaza Maisuradze by email. And that I have put below here also.

I wanted Zaza to read this letter in court today, but just before the court started the court case was cancelled until next week.

To the Judge of Tbilisi Court
that decides today about my appeal
against the decission of the Court about my deportation from Sakartvelo on 26th of October 2010

Langedijk, kapusta ostrov, 2 december 2010

Dear Judge,

First I want to say that I was only informed about this court case on 2 december at 14.00 hours on tuesdaynight 30 november at 19.30 hours.

Zaza Maisuradze gave me the information by telefone. Zaza Maisuradze is my contactperson that I have authorised to deal with my legal affairs through a notarial contract.

I was given an advocat from the Legal Aid Service from the Ministry of Corrections and Legal Assistance of Georgia, Mamuka Basilashvili on 26 th of October 2010.

I have asked Mamuka Basilashvili to keep in contact with me and my authorised person Zaza Maisuradze when I was deported.

But until now, there was never any contact between this advocate and me or Zaza Maisuradze.

It was the initiative of Zaza Maisuradze to hear about this court case.

Since what day my advocat Mamuka Basilashvili knows I have this court case and why he has not contacted me or Zaza Maisuradze immediately ?

If Zaza Maisuradze had no contact with him by telefone on 30 november, we dont even know this important court meeting was going to take place on 2 december at 14.00 hours.

Only today, wednesday 1 december, my contactperson Zaza Maisuradze got all the documents from Mamuka Basilashvili so Zaza Maisuradze started to translate the nine pages.

The translation is not ready and I have seen nothing of it when I started to make this document.

But it is the procedure I like to question, judge.

How can we seriously defend my case if we dont get the announcement and all documents on time ?

One day is not enough to prepare myself together with my advocat and together with my contactperson Zaza Maisuradze.

So I would like to ask you judge, to cancel the court meeting and postpone it until we have found time enough to prepare ourselves and discuss our strategy. Your country must have time limits for this also.

This is normal in my country.

How can my advocat Mamuka Basilashvili defend my rights if I do not know there is a court case and if there has been no contact between my advocat and me since my deportation night at 26 october ?

So please give us the normal opportunity to prepare ourselves for this important appeal.

Please judge, can you postpone the court case ?

This is my question to you.

If Sakartvelo wants to be part of the EU and work according to EU rules my court case has to be postponed. I hope the court of Tbilsi agrees with this and my court case will be cancelled and postponed.

I am looking forward to hear from Tbilisi soon.

With kind regards,
from the Netherlands below sealevel, with a lot of snow and ice, it is winter here,

Marcel Maria Brandsma

Post Script

I sent this letter at aboout 10 O clock Holland time or 12 O clock Georgian time to Zaza Maisuradze in Tbilisi.

I called at 10 minutes to two O clock Georgian Time, just before the process was about to start and then Zaza gave me the message that the court case was cancelled until next week, the 9th of december.

I think I should be in this court case personally, so tomorrow, when I am in a meeting with the ambassador of Georgia in the Netherlands I will ask him to organise this for me.

I dont think that Airzena planes are full every day so I could leave on wednesday 8 december and be back on saturday 10 december. So I also have a chance to pick up my personal belongings when I was deported without previous notice, a robbery, we call this in Holland !!!!

Tulip bulbs waiting and letter to Ambassador Shota Gvineria in the Hague

4 january 2004, Tbilisi, Rustaveli. Waiting outside the State Academy of Sciences Building for Michael Saakasvili, candidate to be third President of Georgia. Next to Marcel are Nugzar Meladze jr and sr, mze-energy specialists from Bagtrioni street, Saburtalo.

Dear Sandra,

On the website of the Georgian Embassy in our beautifull Den Haag, the Netherlands, home of our Royal Family and home of our Parliament and Minitries, I saw your photo and your introduction.

I like to have a meeting with your Georgian highest representative in the Netherlands and for this I wrote already two letters. Here is the second one. So you have an idea, what I wrote to him. Coming friday, 3 december, I have a meeting in the Embassy with Embassador Shota Gvineria in The Hague.

Broek op Langedijk, 25 november 2010

Dear Embassador Shota Gvinera,

How are y in bussy The Hague, just after Misha has visited Brussels and NATO meeting ...

In 2003 at this time acting president Burdjanadze was getting ready to fly to Maastricht OSCE meeting to collect puli for Mishas first election day on 4 jan 2004.

I was in Maastricht during this OSCE meeting and made fotos for your government because there was no photographers coming with the media from MZE, Rustavi 2, Pirveli, etc.

Nino Burdjanadze was very happy with the photos that were given to her by Harry Molenaar, our first Dutch embassador in Tbilisi.

On the photo you can see me when I was waiting for Misha outside the State Academy Building close to Rustaveli metro and Rustaveli statue and Philharmonia where Misha went voting 4 january 2004. I gave him some pictures when he entered. Pictures that I took of Burdjanadze with Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and Colin Powell, people y know off course....

I have sent you a letter at the beginning of november to have a meeting with you.

Until now no answer. I have called to your embassy and spoke with Eka. And I asked her to call me back so we can have a meeting.

But also no answer.

Last monday on Saint George Day I was again at your embassy but you was not there and the embassy was closed because of Georgian national holiday.

I have left for you traditional Langedijk kapusta ostrov boerekool from Peter Vroegop, farmer in my lovely city. To remember also the seventh - swidi - anniversary of the Rose Revolution Day, 23 november 2003.

Please check www.bejo.com if you have no idea what kind of cabbage it is.

Or ask Robert Revia, director of Bejo representative office in Tbilisi since 1998, when Mamaladze got for 200.000 US dollars tesli from Bejo after he visited Langedijk through my mediation.

You can also ask Vano and Dato Eloshvili from III Massiv, Shilda, about this cabbage, they helped Peter planting it when they were in Langedijk in summertime in 2007.

I have given some photos to you together with the boerekool where you can see them when they were my matros during Sail Amsterdam in august.

Oosterdel Boerekool taste best with Kvareli wine from Chavchavadzes winecellar but ofcourse wine from www.ktw.ge is also not bad at all.

Please let me know when you have time to meet me somewhere between Texel and Rotterdam. I am willing to come to you, knowing that you are very bussy representing Sakartvelo in our lovely Holland that has everything Georgia needs !

On the other photo you can see Marine Todua that I met on the 5 th of january and who helped me promoting Georgia in Holland in many ways. I have for Georgia a few thousand Holland tulip bulbs that have to be planted soon in Tbilisi before the winter starts.

A nice project we could do together with the Young Georgians who want to learn more about growing flowers in your very good mitsa everywhere in lamazia Sakartvelo.

Eg in the Botanical Garden in Ortachala but also on Rustaveli or where is the statue of David Tetri the Builder close to Tegeta motors head office ...

For this bulbs it is now or never, our dutch bulbs have no Georgian time, they need to be in the ground asap...

Letter to the Ombudsman Giorgi Tugushi

On this foto you can see Shuamta street from Corpus 15, from the house of Marine Todua, number 38. The tree on the left is covering the Populi Supermarket and right under this tree I was beaten first when I left the Populi Supermarket on 4 October.

On the right you can see the place that I rented to make it into the First Holland Cafe Bar Toidverdroif. Behind and close to this cafe I was kept in the back of a III Massiv Police Car Skoda for more than two and a half hours and I was beaten in the back of the car by Police in Police Uniforms.

The III Massivi Police beat me on my head, on my back and on my breast. The III Massivi Police spit on my face and put burning sigarettes on my ears.

Around my wrists weremetal bracelets and every time I was shouting Misverlet - it means help in Georgian - out of the windows from the Police car, the Police punished me more and pulled stronger these metal bracelets. Also when other cars where passing by, I was pushed with my head down, so nobody could see me in the Police car.

Only after two and a half hours Police gave me a moment to stretch my legs and do a toilet break.

Unbelievable this happened in an area where I live already four years and where I have invested a lot of money and where many neighbours became my friends...

Also unbelievable that my Holland embassy does nothing with this information !!!

Dear Sandra,

I hope you are enjoying all the CDs that were presented to your classical radio station ?

I was not contacted by anybody about Asatiani but I wish, it is getting Sinterklaas 5 december 2010, that improving Asatiani to European 21th century standards is on the Sakartvelo Priority list. And you know, I have all the contacts here in Alkmaar area, but with a letter of intention and signed by Misha, your husband, we can catalyse the cooperation here. It is all in your hands, Sandra....

But this is the letter to Mishas O M B U D S M A N

Langedijk, agricultural centre no 1 in the world, suitable for cooperation with Georgia, 11 november 2010

To the Ombudsman of Sakartvelo, Georgi Tugushi

Dear Batono Tugushi,

In the mail I have sent to many embassies and newspapers you can read what has happened to me in oktober 2010.

I am journalist and was in Tbilisi at 4 jan 2004 (Misha 90 %), 7 nov 2007, 5 jan 2008 (Gachechiladze 25 %), april 2009 - celli terapi - till Baiden came, 12 august 2009 (Gori-Storymans 1 year), 12 august 2010 (2 years Storimans).I was in summer many times on TV because I also visited the Philharmonia during the World Soccer Championship and as you know, Holland reached the final.

Besides journalist for the Daily invisible newspaper from Julius Vischjager and his weekly radioprogramm Hoe bedoel U ? Radio Salto Amsterdam I am also business man in Sakartvelo and director of Sakartvelo Au Pair Georgia (sjepeze since august 2010) and Intmedzarme MMB, involved in agricultural and hospitality business but also promoting and exporting Georgian products to Europe.

I was president of the Holland-Georgia foundation from march 1998 (I founded it) till december 2009.

Sandra, your pirveli kali, came on my invitation to www.geelvinck.com on 13 march 2005 to give two lectures about her book for 250 Georgian-Dutch diaspora type of guests. Sandras parents and son Eduard was there also. She sold 170 copies and wrote in the guestbook of owner Jurn Buisman: "Thanks for the perfect organisation."

I try to figure out why Georgia has brought me to court in october ?
There is a gossip that I am Russian spy because I have good contacts with Kaha Imnadze, who worked for Shevarnadze as his spokesman for press.

Maybe my embassy has asked to get me out of your country ?

I was surprised by the attack that was made at me on 26 october and I am still thinking of the horrible treatment your III Masasivi Patruli - police gave me on mondaymorning 4 october between 00.13 hours and roughly till 04.00 hours.

You can read about this on my blogs.

I must report to your police - according to Julius Vischjager, a special journalist in our Holland parliament democracy, all politicians and miniters and pirveli ministers know whgo he is - that I was mistreated severely by your police but since this night I have no faith anymore in the Georgian police and Ministry of Justice.

Therefore I address to the Ombudsman of Georgia.

I would be very happy if you could invite me to come to Tbilisi to explain you personally what has happened with me in III Massiv and Asatiani.

In Holland there is proverb in the Alkmaar Arveladze - Van Gaal AZ championtown - court.

Alterem Partem Audiet. It is Latin and it means, the judge shall hear the other party.
Your court has brought many evidences together that were not translated for me.

There was an advocat, but there was no time to sit down and see all the documents from both the Policer and Asatiani. And understand why there was so much witnesses in Populi against me

Strange for me because in Sakartvelo is Georgian Time...

It felt like an overval - a robbery - of my freedom in a country that I respect so much, but that has thrown me out without giving me the opportunity to tell my side of the story.

I think it is important for your country that my case is being analysed and discussed like the change of the constitution.
Looking forward for your invitation to meet you in person in lamazi Tbilisi,

Ofcourse you are also welcome to fly to Holland ! On your own costs but there is always a cup of coffee here, that is our hospitality, but if you bring 20 kilos Georgian culture (wine, brandy, sigarettes, borjomi, targuna, likani, kazbegi, shoti, etc) I bring you everywhere you want including Texel and the Beatles Museum in Alkmaar, where Sandra was with Eduard a few years ago
