Kvemo Barghebi

Kvemo Barghebi (Georgian: ქვემო ბარღები; Abkhaz: Аладаҭәы Барҕьаҧ) is a village in Gali Municipality of Georgia.

In March 1995, the Abkhaz militias from the neighboring Ochamchire District raided Kvemo Barghebi, beat prisoners with rods, burned them with hot knives and bayonets, stabbed them and set their bodies on fire.

According to the Georgian opposition TV channel Imedi Chakaberia was convicted only because he was an official of the Abkhazian government.

Higher Georgian court later changed his sentence to 5 years probation and Chakaberia was able to return to Abkhazia and assume his duties.
