Lelo supports Mikheil Saakashvili's initiative to establish Commission of Inquiry in Parliament

The party "Lelo for Georgia" supports the initiative of former President Mikheil Saakashvili to set up a parliamentary Commission of Inquiry.

As one of the leaders of the party, Grigol Gegelia, told Interpressnews, "Lelo" joins the demand, as he believes that it is important to answer all the questions and to keep the public well informed.

"Of course, we will support this demand, because we believe that it is important that there are no questions on such issues, especially when it comes to the former president and his inhuman or degrading treatment.

Obviously, a very clear assessment must be made of this by the Parliament of Georgia or in the form of a commission. Therefore, this is a very important effort. We will join this effort. Naturally, this is also important in the sense that when thinking about our state, none of the international partners should have questions about how the state treats its former leader. Therefore, all questions should be answered in order to inform both the public and foreign partners. We have always demanded transparency in this and other areas and we will join any similar effort," Grigol Gegelia said, expressing hope that the former president's initiative would be shared by other opposition members of parliament.

For the record, according to Giorgi Mshvenieradze, Saakashvili's lawyer, Mikheil Saakashvili believes that it will be important to set up a temporary parliamentary Commission of Inquiry concerning his case, which will investigate "the fact of his inhuman and degrading treatment." According to the lawyer, Saakashvili is ready to present himself to the Commission of Inquiry and provide relevant information to the members of the Commission.
