Rati Bregadze: "We are not afraid of anyone and we strongly warn that they will be held accountable before the law"

The Minister of Justice Rati Bregadze strongly warns all those who plan to prevent the transfer of prisoner Saakashvili from prison to the hospital that they will be held accountable before the law.

"Yesterday we all saw the records released by the State Security Service, which speak of the fact that there are certain forces that want to prevent us from transferring a prisoner to hospital. I said to them and I repeat it very emphatically and clearly - if anyone tries to do that, naturally they will be held accountable before the law, but we are ready for any scenario."

According to the Minister, all means will be used to ensure the safety of the prisoner, including, if necessary, a helicopter:

"Absolutely no one is afraid. We say that if necessary, for the safety of the prisoner, we will definitely use all means to protect the prisoner personally and his safety, including by helicopter. We are afraid of absolutely no one. We are ready for any scenario. Do not bother yourself in vain, because only they will be held accountable before the law, and I strongly warn them."

He also spoke about the ministry's response if Saakashvili refuses to be taken to hospital.

"There are established rules and we will act in accordance with all established rules. We do not break the law, we protect and serve only the administration of justice in this country," - said Minister of Justice, Rati Bregadze.
