Tbilisi Mayor Kaladze Urges Return of Saakashvili to Prison from Clinic

| News, Politics, Georgia

On December 21, Kakha Kaladze, the Georgian Dream General Secretary and Tbilisi Mayor, said it was time for former President Mikheil Saakashvili to stop serving his sentence in a medical clinic and return to prison.

"He is in great shape, he looks good. Perhaps the relevant department will make a decision," Kaladze added. According to the Georgian Dream General Secretary, Saakashvili had no serious health problems as it was, he was just on a diet.

Notably, in October 2021, Saakashvili was detained and sent to prison in absentia on two previous convictions against him. Then, he went on a hunger strike and was transferred from jail to the private Vivamed clinic in Tbilisi.
