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.

Justice Minister: "Saakashvili has never refused medical intervention, this is a very futile attempt to deceive the public"

The Minister of Justice states that Mikheil Saakashvili has never refused a medical treatment during his entire detention and the information that he refuses to follow the recommendations of doctors is an example of manipulation of the voters.

"As for the statement that Mikheil Saakashvili stopped and refused to continue medical treatment, it is a complete lie and it is very unfortunate when he misleads the public and deceives his own voters, first of all, and then the rest of the society," Rati Bregadze told Rustavi 2.

The Minister of Justice noted that convicted Saakashvili follows all the recommendations of the doctors in order to maintain health and energy; The various statements that are made are aimed at manipulating the will of the voters. "This is another very big lie to deceive their own voters, to manipulate their electoral will ... We saw today the statement of various politicians who told voters that whoever votes for another force, he will sign Saakashvili's assassination. This is a total violence against the public," said Rati Bregadze.

The Minister of Justice stressed that the spread of such false information is aimed at misleading the public before the second round of elections. "However, on the eve of the election, the prisoner allegedly refused treatment - half an hour after the announcement, he received medical treatment and received absolutely all the fluids, drugs and pills he had been taking in the previous days," said the Minister, adding that Saakashvili has never refused to undergo medical intervention.

ანონის უზენაესობის 2021 წლის ინდექსში საქართველო აღმოსავლეთ ევროპისა და ცენტრალური აზიის რეგიონში I ადგილზე, საშუალოშემოსავლიანი კატეგორიის ქვეყნების ხუთეულში, ხოლო მსოფლიოს მასშტაბით საუკეთესო 50 ქვეყანას შორისაა.

„მსოფლიოს მართლმსაჯულების პროექტის“ მიერ წარმოებული კანონის უზენაესობის ინდექსი კანონის უზენაესობის მხრივ ვითარებას 44 ინდიკატორის მიხედვით მსოფლიოს 139 ქვეყანაში აფასებს.
