The Supreme Court in the self-proclaimed republic of Abkhazia
began questioning Thursday members of the central electoral commission which
announced the presidential polls on October 3 valid and named Sergei Bagapsh
the winner.
The hearing is conducted in connection with the complaint by Bagapsh's main rival -- Raul Khadzhimba -- who challenged the CEC's decision.
The Supreme Court is expected to complete the questioning of all the 15 CEC members later on Thursday.
One CEC official questioned on Wednesday, acknowledged that
the Commission was under pressure, but remarked that no such pressure was put
on him personally.
