Lawyer: Saakashvili was not allowed to attend the court session

Georgian authorities have refused to allow former president Mikheil Saakashvili to attend a court hearing, his lawyer Beka Basilaia said.

"The penitentiary service is not transferring Saakashvili to the court session... Along with this, the service is not even considering allowing Saakashvili's participation in the trial in any form," said Saakashvili's lawyer.

We shall remind you that Tbilisi City Court has scheduled the hearing of the trial against Saakashvili for November 10.
