Rati Bregadze: As far as I know, Mikheil Saakashvili is not diagnosed with any disease that cannot be treated in Georgia

There is no practice of taking a convicted prisoner out of the country for treatment - as far as I know, Mikheil Saakashvili is not diagnosed with any disease that cannot be treated in Georgia, Minister of Justice Rati Bregadze said regarding the transfer of Mikheil Saakashvili abroad for medical treatment.

According to him, in order for a person to be able to go abroad, he should not be convicted and should not be serving his sentence in Georgia.

"If a person needs to be taken abroad, he should have his sentence postponed, or he should be released. This decision should be made by the court, while the Ministry of Justice acts in accordance with the law. Whatever the court decides, our action will be in accordance with it. There is no practice of taking a convicted prisoner out of the country for treatment. We should respect our doctors and medical staff as much as possible, who are highly qualified. As far as I know, there is no disease in Mikheil Saakashvili's diagnosis that cannot be cured in Georgia," Rati Bregadze said.
