I appeal to Georgian authorities to release him to be cured abroad for humanitarian reasons. He is dying in prison, and that has affected the future of Georgia a lot, MEP Anna Fotyga stated during the debate at the European Parliament regarding the situation of Georgia’s former President Mikheil Saakashvili  on Thursday.

“Several years ago, Vladimir Putin personally described the kind of treatment he wanted to impose on Mikheil Saakashvili, then the President of Georgia, third President of Georgia. As any other person in the world he’s entitled to his homeland, not being an outlaw. Therefore, he returned there, wishing to face the court. He is not treated like any other person there. I appeal to Georgian authorities to release him to be cured abroad for humanitarian reasons. He is dying in prison, and that has affected the future of Georgia a lot,” Anna Fotyga said.
