Mikheil Saakashvili has written an open letter to Salome Zourabichvili, urging her to declassify the expenses incurred by the Special State Protection Service in and after 2013.

“I am writing to you for the first time and this is not a pardon request. I am writing to you because of other circumstances. You can save a decent and honored General Temur Janashia from a completely unjust prison with your one decision, which will be in full compliance with the Constitution and the law of Georgia.

Declassify the expenses incurred by the Special State Protection Service for the Presidential Administration in and after 2013. If you do so, it will become clear that these procedures were not merely a whim of Janashia, but a generally accepted practice which, most importantly, was entirely within the law.

If you abide by the Constitution and the law, you will save a very worthy general who has served Georgia all his life, from an 11-year prison term.

I hope for your sense of justice and civilized approach”, - reads the letter.
