Former President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili appealed to the international community, stating that no court hearings for his cases are scheduled. He posted the application on his Facebook page.
“I was arrested and incarcerated on October 1st.
The arrest was based on two court sentences which no one in the world recognizes and also on an arrest warrant on two pending cases.
Under the Georgian law, any person detained on the basis of an actual and ongoing case shall be promptly brought before court.
I’ve been held for already 9 days without a hearing and my lawyer was just told by the judge on the case, that no hearing is to be expected for weeks to come.
There is an obvious attempt not to allow my public appearance before scheduled second round of elections where almost in every major city my party is neck to neck with Ivanishvili’s party.
I hope you will not allow this extrajudicial captivity case unnoticed,” Saakashvili wrote.
