Ex-President's mother says Saakashvili distrusts Vivamedi Clinic physicians

Giuli Alasania, the mother of imprisoned ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili, says her son seems to distrust Vivamedi Clinic physicians, thus refusing medical treatment.

According to the ex-President’s mother, Mikheil Saakashvili fainted last night.

“He feels bad. I do not know how long the court hearing will last, how long he will endure,” Alasania said.

Saakashvili has been in jail for over a year, convicted of abuse of power while in office. Given Saakashvili’s rapidly deteriorating health, the Tbilisi City Court held a trial to consider whether his sentence should be suspended or deferred.
