Justice Minister: "Saakashvili has never refused medical intervention, this is a very futile attempt to deceive the public"

The Minister of Justice states that Mikheil Saakashvili has never refused a medical treatment during his entire detention and the information that he refuses to follow the recommendations of doctors is an example of manipulation of the voters.

"As for the statement that Mikheil Saakashvili stopped and refused to continue medical treatment, it is a complete lie and it is very unfortunate when he misleads the public and deceives his own voters, first of all, and then the rest of the society," Rati Bregadze told Rustavi 2.

The Minister of Justice noted that convicted Saakashvili follows all the recommendations of the doctors in order to maintain health and energy; The various statements that are made are aimed at manipulating the will of the voters. "This is another very big lie to deceive their own voters, to manipulate their electoral will ... We saw today the statement of various politicians who told voters that whoever votes for another force, he will sign Saakashvili's assassination. This is a total violence against the public," said Rati Bregadze.

The Minister of Justice stressed that the spread of such false information is aimed at misleading the public before the second round of elections. "However, on the eve of the election, the prisoner allegedly refused treatment - half an hour after the announcement, he received medical treatment and received absolutely all the fluids, drugs and pills he had been taking in the previous days," said the Minister, adding that Saakashvili has never refused to undergo medical intervention.

Minister of Justice of Georgia Paata Salia Opens the 35th Session of the State Commission on Migration Issues

The 35th session of the State Commission on Migration Issues was opened by the Chairman of the Commission, Minister of Justice of Georgia Paata Salia.

In his opening remarks, the Minister highlighted the Government of Georgia’s migration policy and emphasized the importance of migration-related issues within the framework of national priorities, as well as the broader regional and international agenda.

According to Paata Salia, the evolving nature of contemporary migration processes — shaped by security considerations, economic development needs, and demographic challenges — requires the state to pursue a flexible, evidence-based, and forward-looking policy. Such an approach is essential to effectively address emerging challenges while making full use of the opportunities associated with migration.

During the session, participants heard a presentation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia on recent legislative amendments in the field of migration. These amendments were developed through effective cooperation among the member agencies of the State Commission on Migration Issues and the Parliament of Georgia.

The members of the Commission also reviewed the outcomes of the UN International Migration Review Forum (IMRF), where the Georgian inter-agency delegation presented the country’s experience and reforms in the field of migration to international partners.

The expanded session was attended by representatives of relevant state institutions, international organizations, and the Public Defender’s Office of Georgia.

The State Commission on Migration Issues is a consultative body of the Government of Georgia chaired by the Ministry of Justice of Georgia. The Secretariat of the Commission is carried out by the LEPL State Services Development Agency.
