Rati Bregadze: "Mikheil Saakashvili, Like Any Other Prisoner, Will Serve His Sentence in the Relevant Penitentiary Institution"

"Mikheil Saakashvili, like any other prisoner, will serve his sentence according to the rules established in the relevant penitentiary institution," said Justice Minister, Rati Bregadze to the reporters. "Mikheil Saakashvili has been sentenced to 6 years, should he serve his sentence in Gori hospital?"

"The sentence should be served in the relevant penitentiary institution. When a convict has a health problem, he is taken to the appropriate medical facility and he is temporarily withdrawn, and as I have already told you, there is an appropriate form N100. Yesterday, as I have already said, he had some blood pressure problem, and after consulting with the relevant medical staff, we made that decision to leave him in the hospital, but Mr. Saakashvili, like any other prisoner, will be serving his sentence according to the rules established in the relevant penitentiary institution. And all his rights will be protected, of course,” said Rati Bregadze.

Georgian Justice Minister Paata Salia Visits Digital Government Center During Official Visit to the Republic of Korea

As part of his official visit to the Republic of Korea, Georgian Justice Minister Paata Salia, together with a delegation, visited the Digital Government Cooperation Center. Members of the Georgian delegation were briefed on Korea’s experience in digital governance, the provision of electronic government services, and the implementation of modern technologies.

The Republic of Korea is one of the world’s leading countries in the field of digital governance. During the visit, particular attention was paid to technological solutions that make government services faster, simpler, and more accessible to citizens.

“The experience shared with us by our Korean partners was very impressive. It is particularly important that our cooperation is focused on achieving concrete results. In the near future, a Digital Governance Cooperation Center will be established in Georgia, providing Georgian and Korean experts with an opportunity to jointly develop and implement new approaches and innovative projects,” said Tamar Zodelava, Deputy Minister of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice of Georgia and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety of the Republic of Korea have already signed a Memorandum of Understanding providing for the establishment of a Digital Governance Cooperation Center in Georgia.

The Center will serve as a platform for practical cooperation between the two countries. Key areas of joint work will include the development of a virtual assistant, digital identity, the integration of artificial intelligence into government services, and other modern digital solutions.

“Meetings with our Korean colleagues have highlighted several areas in which cooperation is particularly important for us. These include a virtual assistant, digital identity, and the integration of artificial intelligence into government services. The introduction of these technologies will enable us to provide citizens with government services even more quickly, simply, and efficiently,” said Sandro Tsirekidze, Chairman of the Digital Governance Agency.

The Georgian delegation accompanying Justice Minister Paata Salia includes First Deputy Minister of Justice Beka Dzamasvhili, Deputy Minister Tamar Zodelava, and Chairman of the Digital Governance Agency Sandro Tsirekidze.
