Emilkhan Sadaev hopes to receive political asylum in Georgia and to avoid deportation to Russia, the RIA "Novosti" reports.

Emilkhan Sadaev appealed to Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili on the air of the "PIK" TV Channel. Sadaev communicated with the TV channel via Skype out of the room for meetings of the Swedish deportation prison. He said that he fought together with Aslan Maskhadov.

In his video message to Mikhail Saakashvili, Emilkhan Sadaev states that he "hopes for assistance to prevent deportation to the Russian Federation", where he "will face torture and extrajudicial execution," the IA "News-Georgia" reports.
