The Georgian Ambassador to Kyiv, Giorgi Zakarashvili, was summoned to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry on 11 November, where he was informed of the inadmissibility of using physical force against Georgia's ex-President, Mikheil Saakashvili, Chairman of the Ukrainian Executive Committee of the National Council of Reforms, according to a statement from the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.

A video showing Saakashvili's transportation from jail to the Gldani prison hospital has been released by Georgia's Special Penitentiary Service. According to the video, law enforcement authorities forcibly removed the politician from the vehicle, following which he insulted personnel and destroyed medical equipment.

At a meeting with the Georgian Ambassador, Ukraine's Deputy Foreign Minister Mykola Tochitskiy stated that Ukraine intends to continue paying special attention to Georgian government respect for the rights of a citizen of Ukraine, Mikheil Saakashvili, "which Georgia is obliged to guarantee in accordance with international law."

Furthermore, on November 11, Saakashvili's Ukrainian lawyer, Yevgeniy Hrushovets, submitted a declaration of the crime of employing force against the ex-president during his transport from prison to hospital with the State Bureau of Investigations.

“While defending people in various criminal proceedings, I saw many situations, but I don’t remember a single one similar to how a citizen of Ukraine is being bullied in a prison in Georgia. We cannot [do anything] but react to the crime committed against Saakashvili,” the lawyer wrote on your Facebook page.

Saakashvili secretly crossed the Georgian border on September 29 and was arrested on October 1. Georgian courts sentenced him in absentia to six years in prison in two criminal cases. An addittional three cases against him, including on illegal border crossing, are pending.

The ex-president considers all charges against him to be falsified and himself a political prisoner.
