The court on choosing a measure of restraint to the detained leader of the New Forces Movement party, Mikheil Saakashvili, may take place on Monday, December 11, one of the lawyers of the detainee Pavlo Bohomazov has said.

"According to preliminary information, most likely he [Saakashvili] will be in a temporary detention facility at the weekend, and I think that the case in the Pechersky court will be considered on Monday. This is what the investigator told me," the Hromadske edition quoted Bohomazov on Saturday morning as saying.

He stressed that there were many violations when Saakashvili was being detained.

Also, the lawyer said that after 72 hours from the moment of his detention "we will be liable to demand his release, because this is illegal detention. But we perfectly understand that the government agencies ignore it."
