Mikheil Saakashvili addresses Salome Zurabishvili with an open letter

Mikheil Saakashvili writes an open letter to Salome Zurabishvili suggesting the following

Open letter to Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili
Ms. Salome,

This is the first time I have written to you and it is not a request for pardon. I have nothing to apologize for, as the law has not been broken, and all the accusations and sentences have been fabricated and completely unfounded. My innocence will be established sooner or later by the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights. As a Frenchman it is impossible not to know that the accusation against me has not been recognized by any European country or anywhere in the civilized world.

I am writing to you because of other circumstances. You can save a decent and honorable General Temur Janashia from a completely unfair imprisonment not by words, but by your decision fully compliant with the Georgian constitution and law.

Set aside the expenses incurred by the Special State Guard Service under the Presidential Administration in 2013 and beyond. Janashia and I are not being told the purpose of the expenses, as they say on TV, but the rules for their reimbursement.
If you take away this grievance, it will be proven that these procedures were not just a whim of Janashia but an accepted ongoing practice which, most importantly, is completely within the law.

If you obey the constitution and the law, you will save a very honorable general,
Who has served Georgia his entire life, from 11 years in prison, His large family from grievance, and his and other people's children from thinking that loyalty, decency and obedience to the law is punishable in this country.

The choice is now yours, Madam President.
I thought it would be right to write an open letter so that the public is fully aware of what is going on around these fake, despicable cases.

Besides, Madam President, how do you guarantee that tomorrow some unjust authority will not accuse you of granting a pardon?! You said yourself that it is the president who decides on pardons. And if so, why am I being sued for "pardons"?! I saw on TV that you will treat guests who come to the Presidential Administration with champagne. Where is the guarantee that you will not be tried at the end of your term, as Janashia and I are now being tried?!

After all, the country is not blanketed in straw and it is not so dark that people cannot tell black from white.

"I have hope for your sense of justice and civilized approach," Mikheil Saakashvili wrote.
