Saakashvili again calls for street protests of his supporters
TBILISI. Nov 2 (Interfax) – Just as he did on Monday, former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili urged his supporters on Tuesday to bring protests to the streets and promised to schedule early parliamentary elections within ten days in case of his release from prison.
"The only thing the incumbent regime fears is our street protests. I give you my word that we will achieve the scheduling of early parliamentary elections within no more than ten days in case of my release from prison," lawyer Dimitri Sadzaglishvili quoted Saakashvili as saying in a message to his supporters.
On Monday, Saakashvili also called for street protests and the surrender of parliament mandates by opposition deputies.
Saakashvili, currently a citizen of Ukraine, secretly arrived in Georgia from Ukraine on September 29. He was detained in Tbilisi on October 1 and is currently being held in a Rustavi prison.
Georgia earlier declared Saakashvili wanted as a person convicted in absentia in several criminal cases and treated as a suspect in some others. Saakashvili has described his detention as unlawful and the charges brought against him as falsified.
