Of course, pardon is exactly what should characterize a state, but it depends on certain factors - a person who tells you that Georgia should be destroyed and burned down and who does not feel any remorse about it, of course, it is very difficult to talk about pardon, - the First Deputy Speaker of the Parliament, Gia Volski, said in response to a question about the possible pardon of those detained during the protests.

According to him, the people detained during the protests "are being incited by their instructors not to retreat under any circumstances and not to accept any pardon, just as they told Saakashvili to die, to put his life in danger and not to refuse to go on hunger strike."

As Volski notes, he has no information about whether those detained during the protests are on the list of those eligible for pardon.

“You kind of say the word “youth” as if it justifies the implementation of the evil plan that they have against Georgia. Georgia is facing quite serious problems and challenges. When a specific person, be it young, middle-aged or elderly, implements these problems and challenges, of course, we must consider them in a completely different light and not only by the code that the judge or prosecutor is guided by. They themselves admit it. A lawyer said that these people fought for democracy, for freedom, and in reality, he does not deny that the struggle was carried out using forceful methods. Yesterday and this morning, we listened to lawyers who say that yes, they committed a crime, but this is not a crime, because they fought for freedom. A very large number of people have the opposite opinion. They are fighting against Georgia and that they are fighting is a fact. For the judge, this is the starting point whether they did something wrong or not. Lawyers say, yes, they did something wrong, but they did something wrong so that Georgia could gain freedom, which is absurd. I have a very emotional opinion, which is absolutely, substantively not related to the reality that has been created with Georgia. I don't think that anyone should enjoy any concessions, especially if they don't deny that they committed a crime and have no feelings, no worries, no concerns about the fact that they are harming their own country. If people don't have such feelings, of course, there is no need to talk about pardon. If we judge by certain topics, emotions, of course, pardon is exactly what should characterize a state, but it also depends on many things. A person who tells you that Georgia should be destroyed and burned down and does not express any remorse, of course, it is very difficult to talk about pardoning," Volski said.
