The assessment of the European Committee against Torture is another proof that President Saakashvili is not receiving proper treatment in the "Vivamed" clinic and, moreover, he is a victim of degrading treatment, - it was mentioned in the statement issued by the "National Movement" party.

As mentioned in the statement, "the political imprisonment of the leader of the main opposition political party fundamentally destroys the opportunity for the Georgian people to express their will in a free, fair and competitive environment in the 2024 elections."

"President Saakashvili is a political prisoner. Oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili announced the filing of cases against him in 2013 and publicly demanded that Mikheil Saakashvili stop his political activities as a precondition for not filing cases.

The author of the political cases brought against President Saakashvili is Otar Fartskhaladze, former Prosecutor General, member of the Bidzina Ivanishvili clan, sanctioned by the United States as an officer of the Russian Security Service. Saakashvili's cases are being tried and/or overseen by US-sanctioned judges.

President Saakashvili should be released from political imprisonment, and the majority of the Georgian people demand this. The political imprisonment of the leader of the main opposition political party fundamentally destroys the opportunity for the Georgian people to express their will in a free, fair and competitive environment in the 2024 elections. It should be noted that conducting the 2024 elections in a free, fair and competitive environment is a prerequisite for opening negotiations on EU membership.

The fact that President Saakashvili's health condition is serious and he is in the "Vivamed" clinic is caused by political imprisonment.

The European Committee against Torture concluded that the "Vivamed" clinic is a "situation that is repressive, humiliating and unfavorable to improving her health status."

The European Committee Against Torture requests that information be provided regarding the investigations into violence against penitentiary patients in "Vivamed". As is known, President Saakashvili was raped by the employees of the penitentiary service while being transferred to "Vivamed".

The European Committee against Torture also notes that medical records are not properly made in "Vivamed", especially in the case of President Saakashvili. Also, there is no individual treatment plan. Moreover, in the case of President Saakashvili, even a proper study of certain symptoms was not conducted. It is clear from the report of the committee that the medical process will be conducted by security services and not medical personnel.

The assessment of the European Committee against Torture is another proof that President Saakashvili is not receiving proper treatment at the Vivamed clinic and, moreover, is a victim of degrading treatment.

This situation is caused by the political justice of the oligarch Ivanishvili, and he should be released immediately as a political prisoner," said the statement issued by the "National Movement".
