Minister of Justice, Rati Bregadze thanked the medical staff of the Gori Military Hospital for their assistance in the treatment of convicted Mikheil Saakashvili and noted that they always act in the best interest of the patient.

"I myself have been to Gori Hospital for some time and I will take this opportunity to thank each doctor and the nurse and everyone who works in this facility because it is a very unusual medical facility and I am deeply convinced that they always act in the best interest of the patient,” said Rati Bregadze.

As Rati Bregadze told reporters, any speculation that the medical staff of the Gori Military Hospital might have made a wrong decision is just shameful.

"Any speculation that medical staff might have made the wrong decision is just shameful. It should always be remembered that those who try to spread such lies are accusing the people have been serving the country since the 2008 war to the present day. Today, they are continuing to serve our army, which we are very proud of and therefore we ask everyone to refrain from any such speculation and if I were in the place of those lawyers I would be very grateful for the treatment and merit they have shown specifically towards this prisoner. It seems that this is a new form of gratitude, which, unfortunately, is addressed by our opponents," said Rati Bregadze.
