Mikheil Saakashvili does not need to visit the ombudsman and consult, but should be released immediately. If we want Georgia to become a member state of the European Union, Georgia should not have political prisoners, Giorgi Baramidze, political secretary of the United National Movement, said. Baramidze responded to the statement made by the public defender in an interview with "InterpressNews", where Levan Ioseliani expressed his readiness to visit Saakashvili, and also, according to his information, he has to enter the council with Saakashvili in January.

According to Baramidze, Mikheil Saakashvili is serving his sentence for building a modern Georgian state and opposing Putin.

"Mikhail Saakashvili does not need to visit the ombudsman and consult, but Mikheil Saakashvili should be released immediately. Mikheil Saakashvili's imprisonment is a shame for the entire Georgian society, it is illegal. He is a political prisoner who is serving a sentence for building a modern Georgian state and opposing Putin, he should be released in a very short time. Mrs. Zurabishvili has the opportunity to do so, and if we want Georgia to become a member of the European Union, Georgia should not have political prisoners," said Giorgi Baramidze.
