Georgia’s ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili has accepted the Georgian government’s offer to be transferred to the Gori Military Hospital and is ready to stop hunger strike there, lawyer Nika Gvaramia has announced.

Gvaramia noted that “due to security measures,” Saakashvili would be transferred later today without specifying the exact time.

He also said they need to hear from the specialists that “everything is in place there even though the hospital with high-tech equipment was built by Saakashvili, and there are probably highly qualified doctors.” He stressed that the post-starvation rehabilitation protocol should be written by specialists and be daily reported.

Gvaramia added that Saakashvili’s health state is “relatively better with no serious complications.”

@SaakashviliM agreed to end a 50-day hunger strike upon his transfer to the military hospital in Gori later today. Ex-Pres also says he won’t stop fighting for his release from illegal captivity through a fair trial/even special court in accordance w/ the law & national dignity
