Murtaz Zodelava was urgently transferred to the Vivamed clinic due to his severe health condition, according to the third president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili. According to Saakashvili, Zodelava suffered two strokes while being held in a neighboring cell.
“Our ally and simply a very good person, Murtaz Zodelava, was urgently transferred to Vivamed due to his critical health condition. It turned out that, while in the cell next to mine, he suffered two strokes…
The fact that his life was in danger was always known to the local executioners. The prison medical staff and some employees sounded the alarm, but their leadership in Tbilisi demonstratively ignored this threat.
Murtaz’s story and the fact that the elderly Paata Burchuladze also unjustly remains behind bars clearly show that the regime is prepared to physically eliminate its opponents. This is a manifestation of ‘zero empathy’ and, in essence, Russian cruelty,” Saakashvili wrote.
