At today’s hearing on former President Mikheil Saakashvili’s jail term postponement, Tbilisi City Court will hear from three Empathy Center specialists who provided their judgement on Saakashvili’s health status.

According to the former president’s lawyer, Shalva Khachapuridze, the defence insists on interrogating the Vivamedi Clinic nurse. Khachapuridze further stated that the findings of three experts served as the foundation for the deferral of the prison term.

The ex-president, according to his lawyer, is willing to attend his trial today.

Seven experts have been questioned over Saakashvili’s case, and the court will hear from the remaining ten experts.
