As a political prisoner, I very clearly and categorically forbid any person or group of people from engaging in any kind of dialogue, negotiation, or even speaking about my freedom and imprisonment, - imprisoned opposition politician Elene Khoshtaria writes in a letter.

As Khoshtaria notes in a letter sent from the Rustavi Women's Prison, this position has been better understood outside the country than by some inside it, which Khoshtaria estimates is surprising.

"I deliberately refrained from discussing party "doctrines", and I do not intend to do so now. The public and the outcome will judge.

In addition, since negotiations with the "Russian Dream" on political prisoners are part of one of the party's "doctrines", as a political prisoner, I very clearly and categorically forbid any person or group of people from engaging in any kind of dialogue, negotiation, or even speaking about my freedom and imprisonment.

It is surprising that this position was better understood outside the country than by some inside it.

Rustavi Women's Prison," Khoshtaria writes in a letter that was posted on her Facebook page.
