Georgian Dream party MP Gia Volski says the law has not been violated by the transfer of former Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili to Rustavi No. 12 prison, noting that after recovery he had to be brought back to jail.

The Georgian Special Penitentiary Service has confirmed Saakashvili’s transfer earlier today, stating that the process was ‘carried out in full compliance with the legislation.’

The ex-president, who was undergoing treatment in Gori military hospital following a hunger strike starting the day of his arrest on October 1, was transferred from the hospital back to Rustavi No. 12 prison earlier today.

Davit Sergeenko, a GD MP, says that it was not an ‘unexpected decision,’ noting that ‘it was known in advance that he would return once his health had stabilised.’

‘It will not occur to any physician to artificially aggravate or alleviate a patient’s condition. So lawyers, non-physicians and enthusiasts, let doctors do their job,’ Sergeenko added.
