Statement of the Ministry of Justice

Convict Mikheil Saakashvili, does not fully receive the prescribed treatment by his personal decision. In order to minimize the possible risks of deteriorating health resulting from his behavior, the Special Penitentiary Service offered him to be transferred to a multi-profile civil clinic for relevant medical treatment due to the high responsibility the state has for human health and life. The implementation of medical measures requires the informed consent of the person, instead of which the public has seen conditional consent equivalent to an ultimatum.

The Ministry of Justice and its Special Penitentiary Service express full confidence in the medical institutions licensed in Georgia and the medical staff working there, which always protects human health and life.

Expressing unfounded distrust of doctors and trying to interfere in their activities without any consent, delays and hinders the implementation of medical measures necessary for health.

We once again call on convicted Mikheil Saakashvili to use the health services offered to him without reservations in his own interests.

Penitentiary staff, in addition to health care, conduct a variety of activities 24 hours a day to ensure the safety of the inmate. Any decision will be made on the basis of a reasonable balance between these two benefits.

Admission of visitors will be ensured in accordance with the legislation and the recommendations of the medical staff.

We call on politically agitated individuals to refrain from any provocative actions that would prevent Mikheil Saakashvili from making a reasonable decision.
