Ombudsman: Immediately transfer him to an alternative medical facility

The Public Defender states that the placement of Mikheil Saakashvili in the N18 facility violates the state's obligation to respect human dignity and calls on the authorities to transfer the ex-president to an alternative medical facility immediately.

According to the statement, the Public Defender and her representatives recorded insulting and threatening statements against the ex-president at the N18 facility. The ombudsman says that voices of insult are also heard in Saakashvili's cell, which clearly serves his psychological pressure.

The Office of the Public Defender also found that no other detainees of Establishment N12 had been admitted to Establishment N18 since 18 January 2021.

The ombudsman's statement also says that a computer tomography machine was delivered to the Gldani penitentiary on the day of Saakashvili's arrival and that it is planned to install it in the near future. However, despite the council's request, the facility still does not have a magnetic resonance imaging machine and does not have a catheterization laboratory.
