UNM rallies in Senaki

Members of the opposition United National Movement (UNM) party rallied in Senaki, western Georgia, demanding jailed ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili’s release.

UNM Chair Levan Khabeishvili said the struggle would lead to victory, warning of holding more and larger protests in different cities throughout Georgia.

“Russian Dream constantly says that they are few, but they do not say that we represent 80% of Georgians who want to join the European Union and do not want the Russification of this country, fleeing to emigration, poverty, the explosion of Sakdrisi, Gelati destruction, and the Russian future for our children. They never say anything like that. They claim: Look, they are few! But you are not few; you are the most courageous, smart, and fearless patriots and fighters. In the end, this struggle will yield results,” Levan Khabeishvili stated.

The United National Movement (UNM) opposition party announced everyday rallies across Georgia after the Tbilisi City Court denied to free ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili or to defer his jail term on February 6.
