Transfer abroad is out of question - Kobakhidze about Mikheil Saakashvili

Transfer abroad is out of the question," Irakli Kobakhidze says of Mikheil Saakashvili and says that Georgia has all the means for treatment.

"Transfer abroad is out of the question. There are all kinds of means for treatment in Georgia. There are no special problems. The situation in the penitentiary system has changed dramatically since 2012. Did you know that under the previous government about 150 prisoners died in prisons? This figure has been reduced by a factor of 12, and the reason is that medical services are also at a very high level. The assumption that at least half of the 150 inmates were directly killed is a separate issue, but the fact that the number of prison deaths has been reduced twlvefold indicates that medical services in these facilities are very good. Consequently, all kinds of services are available. There is no reason to have him transferred abroad. Therefore, without any discrimination, Saakashvili will be treated just like any other prisoner, despite the fact that he has committed much graver crimes than the other 9.5 thousand prisoners," Irakli Kobakhidze said.
