The lawyer of the ex-president of Georgia Gvaramia: Saakashvili was beaten by prison hospital workers 
after being taken from the prison in the city of Rustavi to the prison hospital in the Gldani district on the outskirts of Tbilisi. His letter with a statement was read by lawyer Nika Gvaramia during a briefing, reports TASS.
The text of the letter says that the prison hospital staff pulled Saakashvili out of the car and began to beat him.
“After my refusal they pushed me out by force, dragged me in the background of shouts and abuse of the criminals and hit me several times on the neck. They dragged me by the hair, and, of course, at that time I resisted them, “Gvaramia quoted the ex-president as saying.
According to the defender, Saakashvili refuses treatment in a prison hospital, does not take medications and continues his hunger strike. The politician also demands a meeting with his attending physician while the Georgian Ombudsman Nino Lomjaria visited him.
Mikhail Saakashvili was detained in Georgia on October 1 after he illegally entered the country. The politician was imprisoned under a sentence that was passed in absentia to him in the cases of the murder of banker Sandro Girgvliani several years ago. Saakashvili went on hunger strike in prison.
