"Today he is being examined under anesthesia... It is quite dangerous for his health"

"Today the examination with anesthesia is being conducted... It's quite dangerous for his health," Shalva Khachapuridze, the lawyer of Georgia's third president, said on the subject.

According to him, "[the lawyers] have to prove to the court that Mikheil Saakashvili is not being treated properly."

Today, the examination is being conducted under anesthesia. This is the third or fourth time he has been under anesthesia and it is quite dangerous for his health. So the whole day he will be under our supervision.

Two experts [from America] are coming. The documents will be given to the professional association today, and if they issue a permit, then tomorrow we will go to the Ministry of Health to issue permits. I hope it will not be an unending song, like the English expert's. We think they should give us this document in 2-3 days...

Everything, how much it costs to treat Saakashvili, how much it costs to treat prisoners in general, how much it costs to feed them, calories, etc. We ask about everything related to incarceration. Because we have to prove to the court that Saakashvili is not being treated properly.

Today's Georgian penitentiary system is not able to treat him properly," Khachapuridze says.
