According to data, 20 deputies PACE turned to the authorities of Georgia, recalling that in prison, Saakashvili developed several diseases and a “serious neurological state”. The authors of the application believe that the treatment of the former president in the European specialized clinic is “this is primarily a humanitarian problem.” “It must be urgently placed in a modern clinic, where he can continue treatment without stressful factors. Failure to fulfill this requirement can lead to dementia, polyorgan deficiency and death,” the appeal said.
