EPP urges Georgian authorities to transfer urgently former President Saakashvili “to an appropriate civil hospital; by not doing so, authorities bear responsibility for any aggravation of his health.”

Law enforcers arrested Mikheil Saakashvili in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on October 1. He kicked off a hunger striker day after detention.

To be reminded, 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.
