Rati Bregadze: If Saakashvili wants someone to be housed, we will definitely accommodate him - we will find another prisoner, if someone wants to stay with him, and we will accommodate him, both in the ward and later, in the cell

If Mikheil Saakashvili wants someone to be accommodated, we will definitely accommodate them, but only if they express their desire and we will definitely accommodate them, - said Minister of Justice, Rati Bregadze, after the end of the government session.

According to the Minister of Justice, Mikheil Saakashvili had 3 thousand visitors in less than 2 and a half years.The conclusion of the "European Committee for the Prevention of Torture" also spoke about the fact that he is alone, and in fact, this circumstance is equal to a solitary cell. I want to remind people what it means to be alone. He wants to be alone in the cell as well as in the ward. The population should know this information. As of today, he had 3 thousand visitors in less than 2 and a half years. Then maybe someone can explain what it means to be alone when family members visit every day and spend hours with him. If we want someone to be accommodated, we will definitely accommodate them, but if they express their desire about it, we will definitely accommodate them. We will find another prisoner, if anyone wants to stay with him, and we will accommodate him, both in the ward and later, in the cell as well. If he wants to, but as far as I know, he wants to be alone. I think that answered everything.

There was talk, including about walking. I will also tell you that the convicted Mikheil Saakashvili has not once taken advantage of the right to walk, he has not expressed his desire to do so. On the contrary, he refused every offer", said Bregadze.

According to the explanation of the Minister of Justice, Mikheil Saakashvili also refuses the food offered by the clinic "Vivamed" and the penitentiary service."We should also remind the population that he refuses the food offered to him by the hospital and the special penitentiary service. People of his choice, in particular, family members, bring him food every day," Bregadze said.

He also explained why video surveillance devices are placed in Mikheil Saakashvili's room."The official use of video surveillance means, about which the convict is informed, is in full compliance with the legislation of Georgia, and there are no problems here. This is a completely legal and compliant event. This measure serves the safety of the convict", said Bregadze.
