Ukrainian ombudsman: Upon entering Georgia I was stopped and asked why I came - I was only allowed entry after some calls and warnings from me

According to the ombudsman of Ukraine Ludmila Denisova, she was stopped at the border for 40 minutes upon entering Georgia and was allowed to enter Georgia only after certain calls and warnings made by her.

According to the Public Defender of Ukraine, she has not spoken about this issue before because there was a danger that she would not be allowed to enter the prison to visit with Mikheil Saakashvili.

"A Ukrainian lawyer was not allowed entry yesterday. I have to say, I just did not say it yesterday and this morning neither, because maybe I would not be able to enter the jail to visit Saakashvili - yesterday for 40 minutes I was being asked why I came to Georgia. I was interrogated and also stopped and only allowed entry after some calls and warnings from me, so it seems that everything is not so simple" - the ombudsman said.
