Tina Bokuchava, a member of the United National Movement, met former President Mikheil Saakashvili in a penitentiary institution. She said the former president is continuing his hunger strike because he believes his arrest is politically motivated.
"The only purpose of his visit was to help his country. To help end this evil, this hopelessness, this darkness. Even though he knew his arrest was a possibility, he still made the decision," said Tina Bokuchava.
