The Public Defender of Georgia noted the improvement in the condition of Mikheil Saakashvili

Public Defender of Georgia Levan Ioseliani, after visiting prisoners at the Vivamed clinic, noted the improvement in the condition of ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili.

“I cannot speak about Saakashvili’s health, but physically he looks much better than during my previous visit in March 2023. The issue of his return to prison was not discussed; this is not my competence and not the competence of the clinic. I received information regarding his health condition, but I cannot talk about it publicly,” Levan Ioseliani shared.

Since his arrest on October 1, 2021, Mikheil Saakashvili has spent a total of less than six months in a prison cell. The rest of the time he was in clinics: first in a prison, then in a military hospital, and from May 2022 in the Vivamed clinic. Saakashvili is under arrest, having been sentenced in absentia to imprisonment in two criminal cases. After that, he went on hunger strike three times.
