Georgia’s former president Mikheil Saakashvili has been taken to the No.18 prison infirmary to prevent this health deterioration, the Special Penitentiary Service just announced.

Earlier today, Consilium recommended Saakashvili’s transfer to a high-profile clinic due to his test results.

Law enforcers arrested Mikheil Saakashvili in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on October 1. He kicked off a hunger striker day after detention.

The ex-president is charged with several criminal offences. In 2018, he was sentenced to six years in prison in absentia for abuse of power.
