Russia exchanges 12 Georgian POWs for Adjaran general

28 August 2008 14:49 (UTC +04:00)

Tbilisi â€“ APA. Russia handed over 12 Georgian POWs captured in Poti port. APA reports quoting Interfax that in exchange for this Georgia handed over General Roman Dumbadze, who was arrested for giving strong support to president of Adjara Aslan Abashidze in 2004. MP from opposition Giya Tortladze told journalists that the general had been handed over.

Major-general Roman Dumbadze was the commander of the 25th military unit of Georgia in Batumi. In 2004 when the relations between Aslan Abashidze and the authorities became tense, Dumbadze defended Adjaran leader and said he would not obey Mikhail Saakashvili. The general was arrested after the government change in Adjara and sentenced to 17 years in jail under charges of high treason.
