Mikheil Saakashvili wants to attend his trial, said today Giorgi Gelkhauri, a lawyer for the former President of Georgia.

“Today is the 34th day of the hunger strike and it is logical that his health condition has worsened. Therefore, the council decided to conduct certain tests.

We see that 34 days have passed without Mikheil Saakashvili being tried, that is, he has actually been deprived of the right to a free trial. If they try to hold his trial remotely, we will refuse it, and if Mikheil Saakashvili or any other person involved in the trial refuses, the trial shall be held live.

They are afraid of the fact that he may appear on the screen and address the court and the public. Mikheil Saakashvili wants to attend the trial”, - said Giorgi Gelkhauri.

He added that the third president is weak and his health condition is deteriorating.
