Vladimir Zhilinsky, former coordinator of the Golos voters' rights movement, who was detained in Armenia, has been released. The arrest was related to the activist's status as a wanted activist in Russia.
In Georgia, the relatives of former President Mikheil Saakashvili were repeatedly invited to invite foreign doctors for his treatment. This was stated by Justice Minister Rati Bregadze.
According to Bregadze, the Ministry of Justice and the Special Penitentiary Service do not object to Saakashvili being treated by doctors from abroad. However, neither the former President himself nor his family have yet provided the relevant documents.
The US State Department human rights report released the previous day also presents the case of Mikhail Saakashvili. In particular, the document refers to inhuman treatment of the former President during his forced transfer from prison to a penitentiary clinic.
Imprisonment and hunger strikes undermined the health of the politician. He lost a lot of weight, and he was diagnosed with a number of disorders and diseases.
