Rati Bregadze: "Can anyone explain to me why Saakashvili should be transferred to a civilian clinic?"

The Minister of Justice responded to the request to transfer Mikheil Saakashvili to a multi-profile civil clinic. According to Rati Bregadze, he will be happy if convicted Saakashvili, in accordance with the call of the European Court, stops the hunger strike, but without any reservations:

"The European Court has called on Mr. Saakashvili to end the hunger strike. We will be very happy if he agrees ... but - without any reservations. Why should this person be taken to a private clinic? Can anyone explain it to me? "

According to Rati Bregadze, in case the hunger strike is stopped, convicted Saakashvili will return to the N12 penitentiary institution, because there will be no risk of his health deteriorating.

"If a person stops a hunger strike, it is very good ... Our spirit is absolutely in line with the decision of the Strasbourg Court. We too, of course, will be very happy if his health condition is stable and he returns to a normal rhythm of life. Once the conditions are right, he will be transferred back to the N12 special penitentiary facility, where he was previously serving his sentence," said the Minister.

On November 10, the Strasbourg court rejected Saakashvili's claim to transfer him to a private clinic and called on that he stops his hunger strike.
