On the evening of Thursday, May 5, about one and a half thousand people gathered in Tbilisi at the Georgian government building demanding that Mikhail Saakashvili, who were in Rustavsky prison for former officials, proper medical care. The initiators of the action were the brothers of the ex -president – David and Georgy Saakashvili, who called on the day earlier all the indifferent to gather for a mass action under the slogan “save Misha”. This was reported by Deutsche Welle.
According to the report, this is the first demonstration after the term of the ultimatum of the Saakashvili family to the Government of Georgia on the transfer of the ex-president to treatment abroad. From this moment, his supporters said that they were moving on to large -scale protests.
On the eve of the family and associates of Saakashvili turned to the Georgian Patriarchate, political parties and even the US Assit of the United States, calling to protect the fundamental right to the life of a Georgian citizen, noting that they did not require the liberation of the ex-president or his return to power. It is only about the possibility of treatment so that the politician survives.
Mikhail Saakashvili on April 20 became bad in court during the consideration of one of the criminal cases against him, reminds Deutsche Welle. A week later, doctors concluded that he had anorexia, intolerance to the body of a number of products and a decrease in muscle mass against the background of post -stress depression. On May 3, the state of health has worsened even more – dizziness appeared, it became difficult to move. The ruling party “Georgian Dream” believes that Saakashvili himself refuses medical care, thereby causing harm to his health in order to avoid punishment.
