Saakashvili’s opponents holding rally in Georgia

A mass rally against former President Mikheil Saakashvili is being held in the Georgian city of Rustavi.

Hundreds of people gathered in front of Prison No. 12, where the former president was detained, according to Report‘s local bureau.

Protesters accuse Saakashvili of repression during his rule.

They chanted ‘Oppressor!’ and ‘Killer!’ as they continued their protest.

Georgia’s ex-president was detained on October 1 in Tbilisi. He has been on a hunger strike for 16 days. On October 14, the United National Movement Party, led by Saakashvili, held a rally in Tbilisi’s Freedom Square.
