Briefing of the Minister of Justice

On July 5, 2023, the lawyers of the convicted Saakashvili presented an appeal regarding the admission of Polish doctors to the Viva-Med clinic. On July 12, the doctors named by them were granted the opportunity to visit the convict;

The lawyer's letter indicated that the given information was confidential. However, later, through one of the TV companies, the public watched live the process of doctors entering the hospital, followed by the political TV programs, and consequently by violation of privacy;

There was an incomprehensible incident from one of the Polish doctors. The Polish doctor wrapped the sample taken from the convict Mikheil Saakashvili in paper and tried to sneak it out of the clinic by hiding it in his shoe;

The relevant service itself gave them the right to take the sample taken in an official manner. Accordingly, the mentioned action on the part of the doctor adds even more ambiguity to the behavior inconsistent with medical ethics and legal norms;

This person has been demanded an explanation of this action that cannot be logically explained;

We request the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to listen to the position of the Polish Embassy, because the Polish Embassy was one of the recommenders of these doctors;

Georgia is an independent and sovereign state, a legal state, and for a legal state it is necessary that the law be enforced. The execution of the sentence is the execution of the law, especially when the rights of both the convicted Saakashvili and all other prisoners are concerned;

We act only within the framework of the legislation based on the interest of the Georgian people; For us, purely political impressions, which are not based on evidence, are of no essential importance;

We all must respect the sovereignty of our country, no matter how big the claims are, if they are not based on evidence and behind which there is no logic, we cannot take anyone's opinion into account, we will act strictly within the framework of the legislation.
