Tbilisi Mayor says President can pardon ex-president Saakashvili

The president has the authority to pardon former President Mikheil Saakashvili, said Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze, although he added everyone should be equal and accountable before the law.

The competent institutions, according to Tbilisi Mayor, ensure the well-being of every prisoner, including Mikheil Saakashvili.

Kakha Kaladze feels that the situation with freedom of expression and business was deplorable under Saakashvili’s presidency. He said that the ruling Georgian Dream party, led by Bidzina Ivanishvili, abolished the “criminal regime that is the greatest compassion and gift to the country.”
