Saakashvili says he suspends taking medication ‘in protest’

Georgia’s former president Mikheil Saakashvili says that he will not receive any medication in protest as ‘people are restricted to see him in Gori military hospital and the TV set was also seized.’ 

 

Saakashvili, who was transferred to the hospital on the 50th day of his hunger strike on November 19, also demands the fulfillment of the recent conclusion by the State Inspector’s Office. 

 

The agency fined the Ministry of Justice and the Special Penitentiary Service of Georgia for the release of Saakashvili’s videos in prison and on his transfer to a prison, and demanded from them to delete the videos from the social media and official web pages. 

 

The Special Penitentiary Service says that Saakashvili lies on imposing any disciplinary restrictions against him or the seizure of the TV set.
