Nika Melia: Mikheil Saakashvili is not allowed to make phone calls

Bidzina Ivanishvili is responsible for Mikheil Saakashvili's health, Nika Melia, Chairman of the National Movement, told reporters.

According to him, Saakashvili's health condition is deteriorating, while the government does not permit them to transfer the third president of the country to a multi-profile clinic under the instruction of Bidzina Ivanishvili.

"Saakashvili is in illegal imprisonment and he is not allowed to make phone calls, despite the fact that they have such an obligation. I have been there and I know they have such an obligation.

He has been on hunger strike foe several days now and he demands the appointment of a trial to persuade the public that all charges against him are absurd and they do not do it", Melia said.

According to him, the refusal to transfer Saakashvili to a multi-profile clinic is an attempt to physically destroy him.
