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

Deported out of Tbilisi !

Marcel at the big roundabout in Tbilisi. Nowadays the square is completely changed and in the middle of the square are built new roads and flyovers for the ever increasing traffic in Tbilisi, but in the summer of 2009, when this picture was taken, Marcel found the heart of this square a good place to plant flower bulbs, eg tulips, from Holland.

Dear Sandra,

How are y ? I have been officially thrown out of Sakartvelo on tuesday 26 october !

Before I was taken to Tbilisi court, totally unexpected and totally as surprise, I was captured in Asatiani for more than three weeks.

It is time you visit this place Asatiani, that urgently needs modernisation !

Your Psychiatrists and nurses are definately not ready to treat all the foreign tourists that get into psychiatric problems because of the culture shocks they will experience in the beautiful Georgia !

I have not noticed any significant changes since april 2009, when I was locked up the first time in Hotel Asatiani for "only ten days".

The only mayor change I discovered was the establishment of a special smoking room.

It is getting cold now in Hotel Asatiani.

I got tired from the tetri spagetti and the tetri caviar.

Tell Misha to bring bevri Borjomi and Likani and Kazbegi fruit waters to Asatiani.

Tell Misha to send an undercover patient to discover what the staff of Asatiani is doing to make the patients better !

It was disgusting what I saw. No respect for the psychiatric conditions and no listening to the wishes of the patients.

No, I saw and was treated myself with very much agression, both physically and verbally and the only help I saw was the use of samlebi, medizin from the Farmaceutical Maffia.

Send Pirveli Nursi Inga, Pirveli psychiater Roman, my psychiatrist Chatuna, patient Levani and sanitary Vachtang, Jimmy and Giorgi to Heiloo, Holland and I will show them how Holland deals with psychiatric patients anno 2010.

They will be in shock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been deported from Georgia and was transferred on a voluntary base to the Willibrodus Psychiatric clinic here, where my father was also many times.

It felt like coming back in Paradise after the Hell of Hotel Asatiani.

Please go there with Gigi Ugulava and make it priority number one to keep Asatiani at the same place. Block the selling of this unique place and renovate it the way Willibrodus has developed the last decades !

I have asked Mr Hugo Koetsier, geneesheer-directeur or General Director to cooperate with Asatiani already one year ago.

But it makes more inpression if Misha writes a letter and let me deliver it together with the best Georgian medizins against depression, Georgian wines and mineral waters and the targuna and other Kazbegi fruit drinks.

Heiloo is only 5 km from Alkmaar, Sandra, where you was with Eduard to visit the Beatles Museum. I spoke with the assistant of Topadze in Kazbegi office and they offered me to use Kazbegi distribution to distribute the in Holland very famous Texel beer, with on the bottle the Lighthouse where Georgian soldiers were having the last battles in april 1945.

Nice offer from Topadze. I think Texel is the place to open the Georgian restaurant where Germans, Dutch and Texel people can enjoy the Georgian food.

I hope Shevarnadze comes to Texel before he dies.

Lets organise every year on Texel the Texel cup, a soccer tournament with participants from Georgia, Russia, Holland and Germany.

I got this idea in Asatiani when I spoke with Giorgi, who loves soccer and who lives in Saburtalo, close to Shota Arveladze.

The tournament can be organised every summer to remember the tragedy of april-may 1945.

But also it can be a good idea, Sandra, to organise such tournament in Tbilisi. Eg in the play court in III Massivi, but also in the stadium of Dynamo Tbilisi.

Georgians love soccer and it is time they join the European and World Championships.

Sandra, ask Shota Arveladze to bring Louis van Gaal and ask Prime Minister Rutte to send Guus Hiddink to Tbilisi and Dick Advocaat.

Or Bert van Marwijk ? When I was small he played left forward at Alkmaars AZ.

Sandra, you are from Zeeuws Vlaanderen and I was happy to see you in Philharmonia in july.

Did you think of me when y put on your Roelofs 1 maika ?

Come with Misha to Alkmaar again, visit Heiloo and send a good representative from your embassy in the Hague to me to see where on Texel and in Alkmaar-Langedijk we could open a small Georgian restaurant.

I will call to your Hague embassy on monday to have a meeting with Shota, the ambassador that you have appointed recently.

Today in the Telegraaf I read there was a Georgian wine presentation in the Embassy. Ofcourse, there is more good places to organise degustation.

I know the Alkmaar area on my thumb, I can find a location for free and dont worry about publicity costs, I am expert in FREE PUBLICITY.

I have lots of time now, because for one year I am not welcome anymore in Sakartvelo.

Julius thought I was kicked out officially this week because your security thinks I am a spy of Russia.

I am agent trinadz-trinadz. 1313. From the Langedijk KGB, Kapusta Group Broek op Langedijk.

I am the minister of Foreign Langedijk Affairs and I am not only friend of Georgia but also friend of Russia. Why ?

I will tell y when I am rehabilitated officially by a degree of the President of Georgia.

The Tbilisi court case was for me one big ABRACADABRA, an OVERVAL, a surprise, but I remember the translator Maia from our Embassy saying many times...

According to the Law of foreigners in Georgia .... You have done this and that and that is why you are going to be deported tonight....

I am very unhappy about this all because I have done for your country so much !!!!

Texel and Georgia

Sandra and Misha and Eduard are visiting Texel Island on 4 may 2005. It is the first time a Georgian President visits Texel. Sandra is already pregnant from her second son Nicholoz, who is born on 21 december 2005. Foto Marcel Brandsma - Toidverdroif

Dear Sandra,

My house in beautiful Langedijk is 10 km from Alkmaar and 40 km from Den Helder. From Den Helder it is 30 minutes by ferry to the lamazi island of Texel. I found out in Mscheta in january 1998 that there was a Georgian war tragedia at Texel during World War II.

In Mscheta there were toasts during the supra about Texel people who helped the Georgian soldiers to survive. This story I did not know. Also I did not know that the biggest battle at the end of World War II was at Texel.

Nidas Johannes Petras Maria Brandsma

So after I visited Tbilisi in 1998 in january two times I went back to Holland to my already 8 months pregant girlfriend Aida Kleivaite from Kleipeda, Lithuania. She gave me a lovely son and so I became father of Nidas, born on 19 th february 1998 in my house.

I returned enthousiastic back from Tbilisi and decided to invite Nugzar Meladze in my house. I showed him all my renewable energy contacts in Holland. He invited his sister from Germany and his friend Zurab Zurabishvili, opera singer from Austria. It was for my friend Aida a very bussy time, she was not so happy with all these Georgian guests in our house.

But we went together to Texel also and visited the Georgian cemetery - Russenkerkhof - on the Hoge Berg close to Den Burg, the capital of Texel. It was more me the first time then and after have visited Texel beveri many times with all my Georgian guests.

Kaha Imnadze

The first girl I met in Moscow in november 1992 when I visited a conference about youth exchange between East and West Europe was Aida Kleivaite. She was sitting at the bar of the cruise ship Rossia and she showed me all Moscow in the weekend before the conference started. Now she is the mother of my son Nidas.

The first Georgian man I met was Kaha Imnadze. He also was on the Rossia cruise ship and he told me a lot about your country Sakartvelo. This was in nov 1992 and in 1993 Kaha called me and said that he was in Den Haag, following a course on diplomatic political relations at Clingendael Political Institute. He visited my village Langedijk, took a boat trip with my ship Toidverdroif in the country of the thousand islands and gave me a black keramic bottle with Georgian brandy.

Kaha was the man who started to renew contacts with Texel and he brought a Georgian football team there. Later he called me from Brussels and said, Marcel, I am now representing Georgia in NATO, that is my job.

Aida and I visited Kaha in Brussels a few times and also met his collegue Teimuraz Gamtsemlidze, who came later to Alkmaar with a young Georgian dance group. Kaha gave me the nickname The Flying Dutchman.

Kahas last job for the government was pirveli spokesman for President Shevarnadze. I saw the opposition protests on Dutch tv in november 2003 and send a fax to Kaha. "Is everything OK there in Tbilisi ?"

He called me after a day and said:"No problem, Marcel, it is all sponsored by American (Soros) money. These demonstrators get paid dollars every day for to be here."

Two days later he lost his job. Misha took over with red roses and Nino Burdjanadze was sent to Maastricht OSCE meeting and Misha became President on 4 january 2004.

Shevardnadze and Texel

Because Shevardnadze was the last Minister of Foreign Affairs of the CCCP or USSR I thought it is a good thing that President Shevarnadze visited Texel.

Because of my good relations with Kaha Imnadze I asked him in 2003 to find out if Shevardnadze was interested to visit Texel. The answer was positive. Kaha said: "Shevardnadze wants to visit Texel, but according to the protocols, your Dutch government must invite him!"

With this information I decided to write a letter to Gerrit Zalm, Minister of Finance in Holland and also responsible for EU-Caucasus financial relations. From his spokesman I found out that he was in Tbilisi a few times.

In october 2003 Mr Zalm wrote me a letter back saying that the political situation in Tbilisi was critical and it was better to wait to invite Shevardnadze to come to Texel. He was right, in november 2003 Misha sent him away with roses.

Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and Julius Vischjager

I already met Julius Vischjager, chief editor for the Daily Invisible, a weekly dutch small newspaper. He organised for me accreditation to visit Maastricht OSCE because he knew Jaap de Hoop Scheffer personally. Thanks for this, Julius.

I was happy to take fotos there, because Burdjanadze only took tv and radio journalists, no fotographers.

Julius can always ask the final question to the Dutch Prime Minister in his weekly press conference. He already has this right for many decades. So when Shevardnadze had to resign for President, Julius Vischjager asked our Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende: "Is Mister Eduard Shevarnadze still welcome to visit Texel after what happened during Rose Revolution in Tbilisi ?"

Our Prime Minister Balkenende answered:"Texel is a beautiful island and everybody is welcome there !" So Shevardnadze is still welcome there and I think he should visit Texel before he dies.

Wooden Shoes and Langedijk and Krtanisi Residence

So in september last year before I left to Holland via Antalya, I brought a letter to the Residency of Shevardnadze, asking him if he was still interested to visit Texel. But no answer.

So again on 4 th may 2010, exactly 60 years after Georgians start an attack on Texel (april 1945) I brought again a letter to Shevardnadze and this time it was translated in Russian by my friend Svetlana Kniaskova, who lives in Moscow and translates Dutch literature into Russian.

Read her translation Siegfried from Dutch literature writer Harry Mulish from Amsterdam. Siegfried is about fake son of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun.
I put this letter for Shevarnadze in a traditional dutch wooden shoe, a klomp we call it and delivered it in the morning of 4 may 2010 before I flew back to Amsterdam with Turkish Airlines.

And also I added a personal book from my own library about Texel tragedy, that I wanted to borrow to Shevardnadze to show photos from Texel tragedy. I think it is good if this book from Holland journalist is translated into Russian to tell the story from the Dutch side, because I discovered the Georgian version is a heroic version but it was a dilemma tragedy.

About this tragedy a Texel writer-musician wrote an opera. I visited this writer together with Tata Ivanidze from Vecheri Tbilisi newspaper and my friend Marina Todua from Iberia Times in november 2004.

So even now I hope Shevranadze visits Texel. I heared at his resedency he will visit Berlin in june 2010 because about his life was made a documentary. Berlin is only 600 km to fly to Texel, so lets hope Shevardnadze has the energy also to visit Texel.

Or he finds another suitable occasion, Sandra. What you think ? I was not happy at all with the words Misha spoke about the Texel Georgian Soldiers, words that I found on internet and that I have sent to you via your parents address in Zeeland.
