True dissidents have been sentenced to 7 years, students are held hostage, and therefore giving up is a crime! - Levan Khabeishvili, the chairman of the political council of the United National Movement, writes in a letter sent from prison, responding to the guilty verdict of the city court against him, according to which he was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison.

According to him, "between us and victory stands fear, which Ivanishvili stirs up even more every second."

I am not going to complain! Despite the suffering that accompanies every minute spent in solitary confinement. Real dissidents have been sentenced to 7 years, students are hostages, and therefore giving up is a crime! Between us and victory stands fear, which Ivanishvili is stirring up more and more every second. If we are not afraid and share Saakashvili’s call to unite around the flag, victory is inevitable, we will be in the hands of the Dream until we gather courage and go on the offensive. An offensive means a protest of 100,000 people.

As for me, I have 1.5 years left and I have no choice but to serve my people! Don’t give up, there is strength in unity!”, - writes Levan Khabeishvili.
