Minister of Justice: "A Lawful Measure Has Been Taken Against Saakashvili, the Aim Of Which Was To Minimize His Health Risks. Our Opponents Use the Term 'Kidnapping' to Have A Detrimental Effect On Public Consciousness"

Justice Minister Rati Bregadze responded to accusations by his opponents about Saakashvili's "kidnapping", calling it harmful.

"I want to make a statement on the harmful accusations spread in recent days. I will start with the term "kidnapping", which our opponents try to instill and want to have a detrimental effect on public consciousness; And they want to convince the public that we have kidnapped someone ... In general, how is it possible to say that transfer from one institution to another is a kidnapping ... this is harmful," said the Minister.

The Minister of Justice emphasized that a lawful measure has been taken against Saakashvili, the aim of which was to minimize the health risks of the convict:

"He refused to undergo medical treatment and the risk of his health deteriorating was growing. It was in order to avoid deterioration of his health condition and to minimize similar risks that it was decided to transfer him to the N18 medical facility, where he would be under much closer supervision and this risk would be fully minimized.
