Saakashvili initiates a black list of law enforcers, other public servants

Imprisoned former president Mikheil Saakashvili has initiated the creation of a black list which will include law enforcers and representatives from other state bodies, the United National Movement MP Roman Gotsiridze says. 

Gotsiridze, who visited Saakashvili in Rustavi Prison No.12 earlier today, says that the individuals on the list must be banned from free movement abroad and various sanctions must be imposed against them. 

He stated that the people currently are holding state posts, ‘exercising pressure on the public with the name of the law and are accumulating wealth.’ 

Saakashvili, who currently holds Ukrainian citizenship, was arrested in Tbilisi on October 1 after eight years in political exile. 

He is now serving his term for abuse of power as he was convicted in absentia in Georgia back in 2018. 

Saakashvili claims he is a political prisoner.
