Emigrants arrive in Georgia to support jailed ex-president

Emigrants and Tako Charkviani plan to stage a rally in support of Mikheil Saakashvili, who is in police custody. They have already held a briefing to discuss the issue.

A representative of the Emigrant Initiative group, Paata Abzhandadze, said they knew perfectly well that the elections would have been rigged, which is why they refuse to recognize the already held elections.

''As for our third president Mikheil Saakashvili, he is Putin's hostage and must be freed immediately,'' Paata Abzhandadze stressed.
