Jailed ex-President Saakashvili's rights, including his right to health ensured, Justice Minister says
Georgian Justice Minister Rati Bregadze Friday stressed that “jailed ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili’s rights, including his right to health, are ensured”
Mikheil Saakashvili stays in the therapeutic department of a private clinic, the Minister went on.
“As for his transfer abroad, the prisoner serves his sentence in a penitentiary institution in Georgia. If the convicted wishes to continue his treatment abroad, he should not be convicted, in this case, there is a mechanism for postponing the sentence or releasing from punishment, which is not the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice. We are responsible for executing the sentence,” Rati Bregadze stated.
