"In spite of the enemies wishes, I will not die and I will wait for us to celebrate victory together"

The third president of Georgia has released another letter from Rustavi prison. It was read by Shota Tutberidze, a lawyer to the media.

Mikheil Saakashvili calls on his supporters to hold rallies in many cities at the same time and addresses the citizens, to join the large-scale rally planned in Tbilisi on Saturday.

"From my observations and experience, I want to tell you that today the society is much more ready for fundamental changes than before the Rose Revolution. It far better developed, informed and most importantly it is united than then.

Our society has already managed an electoral revolution on October 30th. Now is the time to evolve this electoral revolution and turn it into a snap election. I fully support the position of the coalition of victorious mayors and other leaders to hold rallies in many locations simultaneously.

This is based on the Serbian example, first Milosevic seized local elections in Yugoslavia after the opposition won, and the opposition and Otbor first staged rallies in many locations and then moved to Belgrade.

Why are protests important in so many locations at once?! Because Ivanishvili has a very limited number of loyal police units and will carry them back and forth. In this way, he will have to disperse the forces and will not be able to restrict the constitutional rights of Georgian citizens, the Georgian people. There is a constant need to constantly attack and expose the odious local rulers and the injustices committed by them, and of course, the whole of Georgia should leave for Tbilisi next week, and as soon as the date is announced, the emigrants should give one day to the Georgia that I asked of you yesterday.

I support the plan of the opposition leaders to come and not disperse, also, on the way will obviously be a lot of improvisation. Now the main thing is the majority and you, yes, you represent, and the elections have confirmed it, the absolute majority of the Georgian society. We need to be peaceful, but very, very, resilient and mobile.

I do not know which day of my hunger strike will it be, but in spite of the enemies wishes, I will not die, and I will definitely wait for you to win and celebrate victory, the victory of Georgia. I also greet Elene Khoshtaria, yes Elene, I have definitely not forgotten, or what I will make me forget about you?, the protesters on hunger strike in show of solidarity, in front of the Parliament and the prison. I heard that a 24-year-old girl is also on a hunger strike near the prison, who was the granddaughter of my favorite Nekresi bishop, Sergi. The Reverend has just passed away, but I know for sure that he would be proud of Nino’s civic heroism, which I and all other hunger strikers would like to tell and urge them to take the utmost care of their own health. One sacrifice is enough for this case.

Once again, friends, we must be many and numerous on the Saturday rallies. Political affiliation does not matter. Demonstrations demand early elections and my release, but none of this is an end in itself, but a way to stop the ungodly rise in prices, the massive outflow of Georgians from Georgia, the process of having Georgians in the minority in their own country, corruption, The government having their hands in your pockets and poverty. Let us take our country out of the swamp once and for all," Mikheil Saakashvili wrote in his address.
