The US Department of Justice recently released another document dated February 28 that sheds light on the activities of lobbying companies hired by Mikheil Saakashvili’s family. One of the lobbying firms, GP International, prepared materials for Western media about Georgia’s former president, Mikheil Saakashvili.

In the press release, the lobbyists express concern for Saakashvili’s health and assert that his life is in grave danger due to the harsh conditions in his imprisonment. They call on US President Joe Biden and leaders of free countries to take action to secure his release.

“There is alarming news coming from Georgia. The conditions of the former President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili’s imprisonment are very harsh and his very life is in grave danger. It is imperative that President Joe Biden and the leaders of the free world do everything they can to save the life of this man who worked tirelessly to promote democratic values and resist Russian imperialism.

Mr. Saakashvili has always been a champion of universal human values, a stalwart ally to the West and the United States, and a strong critic of Russian hegemony over the former-Soviet republics. As the third President of Georgia, he led the country through a transformation that in the span of only several years turned Georgia from one of the most into one of the least corrupt countries in the world, as recognized by Transparency International. After only months in power, he was praised by leaders in Europe and the United States for championing democracy and free markets and ending a period of de facto control of his country by organized crime groups,” states the material prepared for the international media by the lobbying company.

It notes that “Saakashvili oversaw the first peaceful electoral change of power in Georgia by ceding power to his political rivals. Saakashvili stepped down as a leader of the country in 2013, in accordance with the constitutional limits the implementation of which he himself had overseen, and respecting the will of the Georgian electorate”.

“According to leading medical experts from around the world, there is a high possibility that Saakashvili has been subjected to torture and possible poisoning at the hands of the Georgian government, which is widely understood to be heavily influenced by the Kremlin,” it states.

Along with this document, the US Department of Justice has also published articles commissioned by the lobbying company, including an article titled “I am a political prisoner in Georgia, and I am dying” which was published in Politiko.

On July 19, the U.S. Department of Justice published information about the activities of lobbying companies hired by Mikheil Saakashvili’s family. Based on the document, Akerman LLP carried out different activities during a 6-month period.
