Activists and citizens join the appeal of more than 130 former high-ranking officials for the release of the former president, Mikheil Saakashvili.

Giorgi Margvelashvili, the former president of Georgia, initiated the dissemination of the appeal. Margvelashvili says that the main addressee of the appeal is the Georgian society.

The main demand of the appeal is to transfer Mikheil Saakashvili abroad for treatment and stop his "torture to death".

"The main addressee of the appeal is Georgian society. I believe that the main place where the fate of any political process is decided is the Georgian society, then the partners follow, then the political process follows. The main thing is the consolidation of the political position, and I think that the consolidation is around the fact that no citizen should be tortured to death in Georgia. Georgia should not kill its president on the orders of Russia for the second time, Georgian society can be formed on this matter. Any person who sincerely believes that torture and killing are unacceptable can sign. A citizen of Georgia, as well as a foreign citizen, can sign.

I will not discuss the guilt of Mikheil Saakashvili, but if Mikheil Saakashvili had managed to violate all the articles from the first article to the last article of the Criminal Code, still there is no sentence of death by torture in the Criminal Code of Georgia. Therefore, what is happening around him, and this is not my political position, I am quoting the conclusions of competent medical commissions, this is the slow torture method of killing this person," Margvelashvili said.
