The weight of former Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili fell to 67 kilograms due to his failure to fully eat. Tamara Davarashvili, an attending physician at Tbilisi Private Clinic, said so.
The trend indicates a deterioration of the patient’s health. Saakashvili has a general weakness, painful limbs. He takes from 300 to 400 calories a day, which is a very low indicator», - said the doctor and her colleague.
In turn, the chairman of the ruling party «Georgian Dream» Irakli Kobakhidze said that the actions of the Saakashvili family cause shock. " He doesn’t eat anything from the Penitentiary Service and says he’ll only eat what his family brings. And they, with tens of millions of dollars, purposefully bring him low-calorie food. To lose weight is in Saakashvili’s political interests," Kobakhidze said.
Earlier deputies of the European Parliament supported the demand to allow Mikhail Saakashvili to receive proper medical care abroad. In their opinion, the commitment of the Georgian Government to European values determines the attitude to this issue. The Georgian authorities were also criticized by representatives of Ukraine, the United States and European leaders. Even the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko called «indecent» such treatment with a former colleague.
