The deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the girlfriend of the former president of Georgia, Mikhail Saakashvili, Yelizaveta Yasko, said that the politician is in critical condition in a Georgian prison. She spoke about this during a live broadcast on her Facebook page.
“After two days, when no one was allowed to see Mikhail, today the hospital management allowed the Ukrainian consul to visit Mikhail Saakashvili, and we received information about his current state. The condition is critical, ”Yasko said.
According to the deputy, Saakashvili is lying almost all the time, he has neurological seizures, but he does not receive medical assistance. “Now his condition is very weak, and this is no joke,” she said.
Earlier, Yasko reported that the ex-president of Georgia began to have problems with memory, and also develop diseases that can lead to the onset of disability.
Mikhail Saakashvili was detained in Georgia on October 1. He returned to the country after eight years in exile to take part in the protests. Earlier, he was sentenced in absentia to six years in prison for the murder of a banker and beating of a deputy. On November 20, the former president ended his hunger strike, which he had been holding for 50 days. This happened after he was transferred from a prison hospital in Tbilisi to a military hospital in Gori.
