Mariam Jishkariani: Lawyers will appeal to Chief Prosecutor's Office in Ukraine to launch an investigation into the ill-treatment of Mikheil Saakashvili

According to Mariam Jishkariani, head of the Empathy Center, lawyers will appeal to the Chief Prosecutor's Office in Ukraine to launch an investigation into the ill-treatment of Mikheil Saakashvili.

According to Mariam Jishkariani, Saakashvili's personal doctor and Empathy are not allowed to visit Saakashvili in the 12th penitentiary institution in Rustavi, therefore, the health condition of the ex-president is unknown, which is a violation of Georgian law.

"We cannot say anything about the state of health, because neither we nor the personal have a permit to visit him. Therefore, we do not have information about the state of health, and this is a violation of Georgian law, as the patient has the right to seek a second, alternative opinion, as well as the right to conduct an examination.

You know that new circumstances took place in Gori Military Hospital. In our opinion, the treatment is inadequate and, therefore, we demand immediate access to Mikheil Saakashvili. We have appealed to lawyers in Ukraine and their defence strategy is that they will appeal to the Chief Prosecutor's Office in Ukraine to launch an investigation into allegations of ill-treatment of Mikheil Saakashvili," Mariam Jishkariani told the Main Channel.
