U.S. Senators have expressed disappointment regarding filing criminal charges against former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and numerous senior leaders of the previous government.

Senators John McCain, Ben Cardin, Jeanne Shaheen, and Jim Risch are concerned over the situation, they said in a statement.

“President Saakasahvili and his government were not faultless, and it is important for any democracy to uphold its laws. But the pursuit of justice should not become a tool of political retribution and a source of national division, especially when Georgia has so many pressing challenges at present,” the statement reads.

Earlier, the Office of the Attorney General of Georgia stated that a criminal case has been launched against ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili.
