The District Administrative Court of the city of Kyiv has opened an inquiry into the suit of New Forces Movement party’s leader, ex-head of Odesa Regional State Administration and ex-President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, against the Interior Ministry of Ukraine and the State Migration Service.
The plaintiff requests the court to recognize as illegal and ineffective the Ukrainian Interior Ministry’s order No.715 dated August 16, 2012 regarding the motion to acquire the citizenship of Ukraine in the part “I am unindicted on the territory of foreign states,” the court’s press service reported on November 16.
“The court has opened an inquiry and appointed a court session for December 4,” the message reads.
As reported, in July, Poroshenko stripped Saakashvili, who was abroad at that time, of his Ukrainian citizenship.
On September 10, Saakashvili broke through the Polish-Ukrainian border, surrounded by his supporters.
On October 25, Saakashvili stated that he had received documents from the Presidential Administration of Ukraine on depriving him of his citizenship and planned to appeal against this in court.
