Mikheil Saakashvili’s supporters driving in convoy to Rustavi prison

Leaders and supporters of the United National Movement (UNM) are driving in convoy to the 12th penitentiary facility in Rustavi.

Protesters will address and encourage third president Mikheil Saakashvili in Rustavi prison.

According to one of the leaders of the party, Levan Khabeishvili, this is a rally of solidarity to show support to Mikheil Saakashvili, who is "treated inhumanely and whose life is in danger."

"This is a rally of solidarity towards President Saakashvili. In times of economic crisis in a country, the country's major investor, which can bring in billions of dollars of investment, is being treated inhumanely and his life is in danger. Instead of taking concrete measures, they take punitive measures against Saakashvili, therefore, Georgian citizens are protesting against Saakashvili's illegal detention," Levan Khabeishvili said.
