Zelensky asked the prime minister of Georgia to allow Ukrainian doctors to visit Saakashvili

Zelensky asked by phone Garibashvili to let the mother and Ukrainian doctors go to Saakashvili

former President Mikhail Saakashvili of Ukrainian doctors. He wrote about this on Friday, November 12, on Twitter.

According to Zelensky, he spoke with Garibashvili by phone and noted that the rights of a citizen of Ukraine Saakashvili “must be fully guaranteed in accordance with international norms.”

“I applied for admission to Mikhail Saakashvili of his mother, relatives, as well as Ukrainian doctors,” Zelensky said.

In 2015, Saakashvili received Ukrainian citizenship and became the governor of the Odessa region … In July 2017, then President Petro Poroshenko revoked his citizenship after the conflict. The politician returned to Ukraine after Zelensky came to power and headed the executive committee of the National Council for Reforms.

In Georgia, Saakashvili was sentenced in absentia to six years in prison. He was detained on October 1, 2021, when he returned to his homeland to take part in protests after eight years of emigration. While in prison, the ex-president went on a hunger strike. On November 11, he announced that he would stop it as soon as he was transferred from a prison hospital to a civilian hospital.

Saakashvili's supporters consider him a political prisoner and demand his release.
