The Public Defender will visit Mikheil Saakashvili in the coming days together with the Alternative Council.
According to Nino Lomjaria, the visit of the council got planned by the Public Defender to the third president of the country after the announcement of Mikheil Saakashvili's treatment by the Center "Empathy."
According to the Public Defender, doctors will make a conclusion about the overdose of psychotropic drugs only after this visit.
According to the head of the Empathy Center, Mariam Jishkariani, Mikheil Saakashvili was prescribed unnecessary medication. According to her, the prescription contains strong psychotropic drugs, which negatively affect his psychological state and do not improve Mikheil Saakashvili's neurological status.
In response to Jishkarian's statement, Nino Gogorishvili, the treating physician of the third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, said that in 2020, Saakashvili had undergone covid and had been prescribed psychotropic drugs due to sleep problems. The doctor said the doses of medication he had taken were minimal and permissible.
According to Saakashvili's personal doctor, Nikoloz Kipshidze, the drug was prescribed to him at the 12th penitentiary in Rustavi, but they planned to increase the dose at the Gori hospital. According to Kipshidze, we are talking about appointing ten times more doses of the drug. As Kipshidze explains, the president stopped taking this drug on Friday.
According to Saakashvili's lawyer Shota Tutberidze, the authorities tried to weaken Mikheil Saakashvili with drugs.
