This is stated in a message from the department’s press service, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Guided by Part 4 of Article 8 of the Law of Ukraine “On Refugees and Persons in Need of Additional or Temporary Protection,” the State Migration Service refused to process documents to resolve the issue of recognizing Saakashvili as a refugee or person in need of additional protection.
“According to Art. 8 of the Law of Ukraine “On Refugees and Persons in Need of Additional or Temporary Protection” we inform you that you, Mikhail Nikolozovich Saakashvili, have been denied the execution of documents to resolve the issue of recognition as a refugee or person in need of additional protection, due to the obvious unfoundedness of the application, and precisely because of the absence of a well-founded fear of becoming a victim of persecution on the grounds of race, religion, nationality, citizenship (nationality), membership of a particular social group or political opinion and the lack of evidence of a threat to life, safety or freedom,” the department said in a statement.
