Ensuring the good health of the imprisoned Mikheil Saakashvili was in the interest of Georgian authorities and doctors as he had 5 more years of his sentence to serve. Such a statement made today the Chairman of Parliament.

“In contrast, the so-called interest of Saakashvili’s friends is in seeing his health weakened as much as possible and thus enable his transfer out of detention.

Saakashvili is not following the treatment prescribed by the doctors. When a person does not obey doctors and does not follow their instructions, they may face health problems. Saakashvili and his friends - who, in the end, are his biggest enemies because they put him in this situation - do not want him to serve his sentence. For more than a year, he has been trying to find any reason to escape the punishment. There is punishment for a crime, and that is the simple truth.

The interest of Georgian authorities and doctors is to make sure Saakashvili is healthy, as he has five more years of his sentence to serve, while the so-called interest of his friends is for [his health] to weaken as much as possible in order for them to somehow take him out of prison”, - said Shalva Papuashvili.
