Georgia’s ex-President’s health condition has weakened and worsened, but he is in good spirits, said Mikheil Saakashvili’s lawyer Giorgi Gelkhauri on Wednesday.
“Saakashvili is waiting for an alternative Concilium, which will find out whether his vital signs fall within or outside the normal range,” Gelkhauri noted.
In a letter, read by a lawyer, the former president urged Georgian emigrants to “save money, take a holiday and arrive in Georgia, promising a victory.”
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.
