According to United National Movement member Eka Kherkheulidze, Malkhaz Urtmelidze, head of the medical service at Gori hospital, has been transferred to the Rustavi penitentiary institution. She said this after visiting Mikheil Saakashvili in the Rustavi prison.
She said that Mikheil Saakashvili should be transferred out of the Rustavi prison, and he needs medical care in order to improve his health.
"Mikheil Saakashvili needs it and he is asking for it, and he is on hunger strike because he needs qualified medical care based on the recommendations of doctors, which cannot be done in a penitentiary institution. He should be transferred out of this institution.
I found out today that Malkhaz Urtmelidze, the head of medical service of Gori hospital, who was noteworthy in his aggression towards Mikheil Saakashvili and the repressive measures taken against him, has been moved to this facility for some strange reason. I have this information from Mikheil Saakashvili that he has already been transferred here and Tamta Demurishvili has also been fired," Kherkheulidze said.
