Lawyer: I have been waiting for a meeting with Mikheil Saakashvili for 2 hours, but I was not allowed to meet him for a very banal reason - we have to wait for permission from high officials

I have been waiting for a meeting with Mikheil Saakashvili for 2 hours, but I was not allowed to meet him for a very banal reason - we have to wait for permission from high officials, Shota Tutberidze, one of lawyers of Mikheil Saakashvili, said at the Vivamedi Clinic.

The lawyer also noted that Saakashvili has many visitors.

"Georgia has become a state where you need assistance by some influential person in order to exercise your right. Unfortunately, the Penitentiary Service works like the Georgian bureaucracy, that is, poorly.

It is unfortunate that the Penitentiary Service has not been able to solve problems in the system for months. This is an example of how the Georgian bureaucracy works. It focuses only on creating artificial barriers. I hope this problem will be eliminated, because it is a shame, but the damage that we can not visit our client cannot be compensated," said Shota Tutberidze.
