Prison abuse videos rock Georgia ahead of vote
TBILISI, Georgia —
Videos showing the abuse of prisoners in Georgia have sparked street protests and an exchange of harsh accusations between the government and the opposition ahead of parliamentary elections.
Hundreds of protesters blocked traffic in the center of the capital, Tbilisi, in the overnight hours after two television stations aired graphic videos Tuesday of guards abusing prisoners, including the footage in which prisoners are raped with police truncheons and broom handles.
