Ex-president of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili Beka Basila stated that the state of his ward deteriorated.
“Sakashvili’s hunger strike goes into a complex phase. For an ex-president, problems with movement began, as his legs are paralyzed,” said Bassile to journalists after visiting the prison in Rustavi in the morning on October 12.
He noted that, despite the hunger and the deterioration of health, Saakashvili, “Silen Spirit and is determined to continue the hunger strike to the second round of elections.”
Recall that Mikhail Saakashvili, founder of the United National Movement Party (UNE), returned to Georgia on October 1, on the eve of the local elections, which the opposition considered as a referendum on the confidence of the current government. On the same day he was detained in Tbilisi. In protest, the ex-president declared a hunger strike that was lasting for 12 days.
