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.
