NATO chief says concerned over Georgia arrests

NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen expressed concern on Monday over the arrests of opponents of Georgia's new government following elections last month, and urged the authorities to ensure there was no political meddling in their trials.
   
A Georgian court decided on Friday to keep a former minister in custody but bailed two army commanders charged with abuse of power. The case has raised concern the new government led by billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili is waging a political vendetta.
   
"It's for the legal system, the judicial system in Georgia to sort out these cases. But of course it's important that such trials are not undermined by political interference," Rasmussen said at a meeting of NATO parliamentary assembly in Prague.
