The state security service of the country, which had previously initiated a criminal case on & nbsp; signs of preparing a coup d'état, warned about the & nbsp; all measures provided by law for & nbsp; protection of the constitutional order.
About & nbsp; the beginning of the “ nationwide movement of disobedience to the authorities '' said the chairman of the main opposition party United National Movement (UNM) Nikanor Melia in a & nbsp; special address to the & nbsp; nation on & nbsp; Sunday night. According to & nbsp; his assertion, the authorities “ did not & nbsp; reacted in any way '' on the & nbsp; ultimatum demand of the participants in the rally near & nbsp; Rustavi prison (where the founder of the party Mikhail Saakashvili is kept and & nbsp; continues the hunger strike) about & nbsp; & nbsp; & quot; the ex-president's immediate transfer to & nbsp; multifunctional clinic Vivamedi & raquo; where doctors, according to & nbsp; save the life of the third president '', who has been on hunger strike since & nbsp; the moment of his arrest on October 1 & nbsp;.
A protest rally at & nbsp; Rustavi prison took place on & nbsp; Saturday after the Department of Corrections of the Ministry of Justice distributed video footage from the & nbsp; medical department of the prison, to & nbsp; ; which Saakashvili, in the & nbsp; presence of doctors, takes various medications, and & nbsp; also eats from & nbsp; small jars of nutritional formula intended for & nbsp; children.
Justice Minister Rati Bregadze made the ex-president laugh. “ This is not & nbsp; a hunger strike, when a person eats porridge and & nbsp; drinks natural juices '', & nbsp; & mdash; the minister contemptuously stated in an & nbsp; interview with the Rustavi-2 TV company. For & nbsp; the prisoner of Rustavi prison stood up his lawyer Nika Gvaramia, who held the same & nbsp; position of the head of the Ministry of Justice in the & nbsp; administration of President Saakashvili. “ The Political Hunger Strike Protocol does not & nbsp; mean a complete refusal to & nbsp; take minerals and & nbsp; medications according to & nbsp; doctor's prescription & nbsp; & nbsp; & mdash; said & nbsp; he.
Later, Saakashvili himself, through & nbsp; lawyers, published on & nbsp; his Facebook page a rather large letter with & nbsp; explanation on & nbsp; about “ baby porridge ''. & nbsp; Minerals and & nbsp; trace elements I & nbsp; took according to & nbsp; recommendations of a council of doctors & raquo;, & nbsp; & mdash; stressed the former head of state. He & nbsp; said that & nbsp; in & nbsp; response to & nbsp; & nbsp; shameful publication of frames containing personal information & raquo; refuses & nbsp; tests, taking any minerals, drugs and & nbsp; doctor's consultations.
Mikheil Saakashvili's attending physician Nikoloz Kipshidze, speaking to the journalists who were on duty outside the walls of the Rustavi prison, said: “After refusing to take medications, the president has only a few days to live, or maybe even a few hours.”
On Monday morning, one of the highest hierarchs of the Georgian Orthodox Church (GOC), Metropolitan Akhalkalaki, Kumurdo and & nbsp; Kari Nikoloz (Pachuashvili), visited Mikhail Saakashvili's solitary confinement cell. After several hours of communication with the prisoner, Vladyka told reporters: the former president confessed, and then “ received the Holy Communion with the blood and the flesh of Christ. '' The metropolitan regarded Saakashvili's 40 days of hunger strike as a “ great dry fast. '' “ He & nbsp; received communion worthily '', & nbsp; & mdash; noted the hierarch of the GOC.
Meanwhile, the party members of 'prisoner number one' and & nbsp; and & nbsp; other opposition leaders spoke about & nbsp; the United Opposition's near-term plans: from & nbsp; Monday evening, activists, gathering at & nbsp; Svoboda Square, will block administrative buildings.
“Misha is Putin's personal prisoner, but we will free him from the Kremlin's claws,” one of the leaders of the UNM Nugzar Tsiklauri explained in an interview with reporters. Putin in & nbsp; regarding his implacable enemy & nbsp; & mdash; Mikheil Saakashvili '.
Saakashvili explained his return to Georgia with boundless longing 
However, the authorities are not going to capitulate. The Penitentiary Department, according to the ministry's statement, “ does not & nbsp; see the need to & nbsp; transfer prisoner Saakashvili to the & nbsp; hospital '', since “ his state of health is stable. '' And & nbsp; The State Security Service (SGB) of Georgia, which had previously opened a criminal case “ on grounds of preparation of a coup d'état '', warned the opposition: “ Any attempts to block state institutions are a violation and & nbsp; will be suppressed by legal measures. ''
According to & nbsp; the official representative of the State Security Service, while there are no grounds “ for & nbsp; presentation of specific charges to specific persons '', but & nbsp; one of the & nbsp; defendants in the case may well be Mikhail Saakashvili personally, who “ through & nbsp; his lawyers constantly sends messages from prison & nbsp; calls for the & nbsp; overthrow of the legally elected government.
According to Kommersant's sources from sources familiar with the situation, in the event of a further exacerbation of the internal political situation in the country, the ruling Georgian Dream party of Bidzina Ivanishvili and the government of Irakli Garibashvili do not rule out the expulsion of Mikhail Saakashvili to Ukraine “for treatment and rehabilitation”, using the norm of the law on the possibility of deferring the execution of punishment.
Mikhail Saakashvili was sentenced by the Tbilisi court to & nbsp; three and & nbsp; six years in prison on & nbsp; charges of & nbsp; exceeding and & nbsp; abuse of official powers. Two more criminal cases are in the & nbsp; litigation process. And & nbsp; after the return of the ex-president to & nbsp; home from & nbsp; Ukraine, the main prosecutor's office brought him a fifth charge & nbsp; & mdash; in & nbsp; illegal crossing of the state border.
In & nbsp; Georgia, court sentences, as a rule, are not & nbsp; summarized. None of & nbsp; on one of the & nbsp; three charges, on which & nbsp; has not yet been & nbsp; sentenced, the former president faces a long term. In the & nbsp; worst case, he will have to spend more than six years in a & nbsp; Georgian prison.
