Saakashvili reacted to the new verdict against him

Against the backdrop of recent events, the former president of Georgia called on the international community to speak out against all injustices occurring in the country.

The sentence handed down to me is an outrageous case of political persecution by a Russian oligarch to whom I peacefully handed over power in 2012 and who refuses to relinquish it despite parliamentary elections in 2020 and 2024.

The politician believes that his persecution will not end after this.

According to Saakashvili, Ivanishvili has already allegedly stated that he will be tried next time for the war against Russia, that is, for opposing Russia's full-scale invasion in 2008.

The former Georgian leader recalled that the European Parliament has repeatedly called for his unconditional release.

The presidents of Ukraine, France, and Poland also called for my release. Today, the oligarch responded to these calls with a new great injustice to intimidate me and all freedom-loving people in Georgia.
