The health condition of the imprisoned Mikheil Saakashvili in Georgia has significantly deteriorated about a year ago. He now experiences memory lapses.
It has come to the point where the former president of Georgia lacks the strength and health to read and write. This was reported in an interview with 'Glavkom' by Saakashvili's beloved, the member of parliament from 'Servant of the People', Yelizaveta Yasko.
'There were moments in live communication when he talks, and a second later he can't understand what is happening. Now everything has become much worse; he can't even write all the time,' Yasko said.
According to her, Saakashvili currently has many diagnoses, among them dementia.

'As far as I understand, this happened as a result of the improper exit from fasting. He was not treated but made it so that his body did not receive the necessary substances to 'shut down' him. Therefore, unfortunately, his psychological condition is getting worse and worse,' Yasko said.
According to the deputy, the former president of Georgia is currently in an ordinary hospital. In one of its wings, prisoners are treated. Guards with weapons are nearby him. Saakashvili is constantly subjected to psychological pressure.
'Mikheil has a lot of neurological and gastroenterological diagnoses; he needs surgeries, so it's not only about his psychological state,' Yasko specified.
She mentioned that she used to send her beloved textbooks in the Ukrainian language; he studied it. But now, due to health problems, the politician has no strength to read.
Former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili could have been poisoned after his arrest in Georgia. This was indicated by the results of the examination, said Saakashvili's lawyer Valery Gelbakhians.
Saakashvili was detained on October 1, 2021, in Georgia, where he returned on the eve of the elections after eight years of emigration. Saakashvili stated that he considers himself a political prisoner and announced a hunger strike on the day of his detention. He ended it after 50 days on November 20 and subsequently underwent treatment at the Gori hospital.
