Droa party leader Elene Khoshtaria kicked off a hunger strike today until ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili is transferred to a civilian 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.”

Today, I started a hunger-strike in the ?? parliament until @SaakashviliM is transferred to a civic hospital. I’m not his supporter and have been his critic, but the ?? govt’s treatment of him goes beyond any norm. Unfortunately, we are only left with extreme means of protest.
