Droa leader starts hunger strike until Saakashvili transferred to civic clinic

04.11.21 11:50


Droa party leader Elene Khoshtaria kicked off a hunger strike today until ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili was transferred to a civic clinic.

 

She deems Saakashvili’s detention and developments linked to his health state as “sadistic and cynical revenge against a citizen of Georgia and the third president.”

 

Earlier Saakashvili’s lawyer Giorgi Gelkhauri said the ex-President’s health condition has weakened and worsened, but he is in good spirits.

 

Law enforcers arrested Mikheil Saakashvili in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on October 1. He kicked off a hunger striker day after detention.

 

The ex-president is charged with several criminal offences. In 2018, he was sentenced to six years in prison in absentia for abuse of power.
