According to the Minister of Justice, the process of transferring convicted Saakashvili to N18 penitentiary institution was carried out in compliance with his rights. Rati Bregadze indicated to the footage released today to confirm this.

"Footage was spread when he had a talk with the employees in the emergency vehicle for about 15 minutes, they talked to him politely, urging to leave the car; They told him it it had to be done for his health and in response the employees could only hear insulting words,” said the Minister of Justice.

According to Rati Bregadze, convicted Saakashvili was insulting people who work tirelessly for the safety of each of us:

"It is not easy to listen when such insults are undeservedly addressed to persons who care and work for each of us, for the safety of our families, day and night. Naturally, we will not allow anyone to do that; No prisoner or human being should be allowed to treat unfairly our employees and disobey their lawful request."

As for the use of force, after Saakashvili did not obey the staff of the penitentiary institution, according to the Minister of Justice, they used "completely proportional force". Rati Bregadze also noted that the fact is being investigated by the General Inspection of the Ministry of Justice and the State Inspector's Office and the final legal decision will be determined by the investigation.
