We, family members, are very worried and nervous On this occasion. We see that his condition is worsening day by day. He has been in the hospital for six months, but it seems that he does not have proper care, and therefore his condition is worsening … and we are trying to find a decision for our family in This difficult period, and the solution is very simple, both legally and morally – to give him the opportunity to be treated in the corresponding clinic abroad … The situation is very difficult, and something should change … I hope that my father, Mikhail Saakashvili , will not die in prison. “
