Former deputy head of State Security Service of Georgia publishes a letter from prison regarding ISFED



The former deputy head of the State Security Service of Georgia Soso Gogashvili published a letter from prison regarding ISFED being blocked from participating in the working group meeting for the revision of the Electoral Code by the ruling party Georgian Dream.

According to Gogashvili, Fair Elections (ISFED) and Transparency International (TI) are independent, authoritative, and highly experienced organizations, to whom he provided comprehensive information about the total fraud of elections in Georgia about a year ago.

According to his statement, by discriminatory blocking of ISFED and similar actions carried out by 'Georgian Dream', which he refers to as 'Rashist Dream' Georgia is further distanced from the Euro-Atlantic goal, progress and development, and instead, it is closer to Russia and hopelessness.

"All these steps, which the Collaborative Dream is taking today, are anti-constitutional, anti-national and against the will of the majority of the Georgian people. ISFED and TI are independent, authoritative and experienced organizations. Almost a year ago, I gave non-governmental organizations comprehensive information about the total fraud of elections in Georgia. Naturally, with attached proofs and facts. After several months of work, they confirmed the information I provided, verified the relevant evidence, and published it in the form of a report.

In fact, these documents prove that the Rashist Dream has seized power by stealing the elections, that is, they do not have the legitimacy that the people normally give them by voting in elections. I want to assure you that there is no point in engaging in any work process with a Rashist Dream, it is a waste of time.

Soso Gogashvili says in a letter that he will personally do his best to help inform this process and finally 'unmask the Dream' in the eyes of the public and that he will publicly inform people about the agency planted by collaborators who are engaged in subversive activities, both in the opposition and in the core of civil society.
