Saakashvili transferred from hospital to prison

Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili has been transferred from the Vivamed clinic back to prison, Sputnik Georgia reports.

“Since Mikheil Saakashvili’s condition is satisfactory and he no longer requires inpatient treatment, he has been discharged from the clinic and returned to Correctional Facility No. 12,” the Special Penitentiary Service said in a statement.

Since his arrest on Oct. 1, 2021, the former president has spent less than six months in prison, with the remaining time served in medical facilities.
