Nino Lomjaria: Saakashvili's condition has not stabilized, it has deteriorated sharply, which means that the treatment is not effective

According to the Public Defender, Nino Lomjaria, creating a group of doctors regarding Mikheil Saakashvili's health condition is simply her view and if she were in power, she would convene doctors.

As Lomjaria told reporters, the government should respond to her recommendation.

"It was simply my view. I am not in power. But if someone asked me if I was in power, how I would ensure Mikheil Saakashvili's right to health in the penitentiary system, I would convene doctors, the council and ask them what he needs, what can be done. I would make a decision on this together with the experts in the field. This is my vision and the government should respond to all this," Nino Lomjaria said.

According to her, the treatment of Saakashvili is not effective and if his health needs are not met, it is likely that it will amount to inhuman treatment.

"Based on the conclusion, it is clear that the treatment provided to him in the penitentiary institution in recent months was not effective and efficient. Treatment should not only stop the disease but also cure it. We have seen that his situation has not stabilized, it has deteriorated sharply. This means that the treatment is not effective and if it continues like this and his health needs are not met, there is a high probability that it will amount to inhuman treatment and the Strasbourg court will find it as a violation of the article of inhuman treatment," the ombudsman said.
