The United Nations Movement (UNM) plans to hold ‘large rallies’ in all large cities in Georgia, during which demonstrators will demand the release of former president of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili from prison, UNM member Levan Bezhashvili said earlier today.

Bezhashvili’s statement follows yesterday’s rally in central Tbilisi by the UNM ‘which saw thousands of Georgians gathered, demanding freedom for the former president.’

Bezhashvili says the UNM will inform the public of its plans in the coming days.

“We will continue exercising pressure on the Georgian Dream (GD) government, with all measures inside and outside the country, to set Saakashvili free,” Bezhashvili said.

According to Netgazeti, around 40,000 individuals attended the UNM rally yesterday.
