“This time, the prison is completely full. Far more guards accompany me than before — apparently, they’re afraid I might recruit others from the cell and start a revolution,” reads a letter from Georgia’s third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, published on his social media account.

As Saakashvili notes, “the prison was completely overcrowded this time.”

“This time, the prison is entirely full. Far more guards accompany me than before - apparently, they’re afraid I’ll recruit others from the cell and start a revolution.

And one more very telling detail - the television in my cell only has Russian channels, except for one Azerbaijani channel. There are huge traffic jams in the corridors due to the movement of inmates.

There has been a lot of response from my supporters, and I thank everyone very much,” Saakashvili wrote.

For context: on November 12, Georgia’s third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, was transferred back from the “Vivamedi” clinic to Penitentiary Facility No. 12, where he will continue serving his sentence under the general regime.

According to the Special Penitentiary Service, since Saakashvili’s “health condition is satisfactory and he no longer requires inpatient treatment,” he was discharged from the clinic.
