Saakashvili’s doctor: I ask members of the first council to meet immediately and decide what to do, his condition will become the most critical, maybe in a few hours

According to Nikoloz Kipshidze, personal doctor of the third President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili refused medications, tests and transfusions after the photo and video material published by the Penitentiary Service yesterday.

As the doctor explained after visiting Saakashvili in prison, his health condition requires immediate resolution of the issue.

"Mr. President refused tests and drugs that provided his life. This is a tragedy because some indicators are getting worse every hour. The situation at this minute is critical. Therefore, I ask members of the first council to meet immediately and decide what to do. His condition will become the most critical, maybe in a few hours," Kipshidze said.

Asked by reporters what could happen if Mikheil Saakashvili remains in prison, Nikoloz Kipshidze replied: "Death."

"We are talking about saving his life. He was taking drugs that saved his life, but he has now refused to take them after the footage was broadcast on television yesterday," Nikoloz Kipshidze said.
