Mikheil Saakashvili will once again not be taken to the court - the penitentiary names the same reasons

The third president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, will once again not be taken to the court. The agency names the same reasons this time as it had on November 10th.

We offer the statement unchanged:

The State Security service is investigating a crime under the first part of Article 315 of the Criminal Code of Georgia, and a public statement issued by the State Security Service revealed that In order to prevent M. Saakashvili from entering the penitentiary, the blockade to the access roads to the facility through vehicles owned by a number of political party representatives. They intended to carry out these destructive actions, in which about 500-600 vehicles would take part, which would cause uncontrollable situation, chaos and the current situation would hinder the process of Mikheil Saakashvili's transfer. Such actions may also occur in the case of his escort in the courtroom.

It should be noted that according to the information requested by the Special Penitentiary Service from the State Security Service and received from the agency, the appearance of the convicted Mikheil Saakashvili in the courtroom due to his security problems poses certain risks.

At this stage, the convicted Mikheil Saakashvili has discontinued much of his treatment, and his appearance in the courtroom poses an additional risk to his health.

If so decided, the Special Prison Service will ensure the remote participation of the accused/convicted Mikheil Saakashvili in the court session, as well as the possibility of a court session being at thin the medical facility N18 for the accused and convicted. "
