In Georgia, protesters again demanded the release of Mikheil Saakashvili

Another protest action took place in Tbilisi. Representatives and supporters of the opposition United National Movement party gathered outside the Government Chancellery demanding the release of ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili.

Recall that on October 1, 2021, Mikhail Saakashvili arrived from Ukraine (of which he is a citizen) to Georgia. He was arrested in one of Tbilisi's apartments on the basis of sentencing in absentia in two criminal cases. After that, the politician went on a hunger strike, which lasted 50 days. Under Georgian law, the ex-president must spend six years in prison. Calls to release him were made by the leadership of Ukraine, Europe and the United States, as well as numerous human rights organizations.
