Upholding of Saakashvili’s rights and due legal process are key and under the full responsibility of the Georgian authorities, - EU Ambassador to Georgia Carl Hartzell said at the webinar involving MEPs.

 

According to him, the government of Georgia should make every effort to fully uphold Saakashvili’s rights.

 

“Of course, we are also following closely the situation of Georgia’s third president in prison, in cooperation with trusted local partners, such as the Public Defender. From the outset, the EU made clear that the upholding of his rights and due legal process are key and under the full responsibility of the Georgian authorities. These rights include the right to stand trial, transparent, fair and due judicial proceedings and the right to adequate health care, as well as privacy and dignity whilst in prison. The government of Georgia should make every effort to fully uphold these rights’, the Ambassador said.
