A photograph of the United National Movement member and MP, Levan Khabeishvili, where he has a tattoo of Mikheil Saakashvili (link 1, link 2, link 3 and link 4), the third President of Georgia, on his head with the caption “Free Misha” is being disseminated in social networks.

The photograph that has been circulating through social networks was in fact taken from Mtavari Arkhi’s 10 November 2022 programme, Mtavari Aktsentebi, where Levan Khabeishvili was a guest. The footage of the programme clearly shows that Levan Khabeishvili does not have a tattoo on his head.

Therefore, the photographs disseminated through Facebook are doctored and do not reflect reality.
