"I am deeply concerned about the deteriorating health condition of former Georgian President and chairman of the Executive Committee of Ukraine’s National Reform Council Mikheil Saakashvili following his arrest by Georgian authorities based on his conviction in absentia on charges that have been widely criticized as politically motivated. Former President Saakashvili’s continued detention threatens to deepen political fractures in Georgia and undermine steps towards democratization. As Georgia continues to navigate a political crisis that has eroded public confidence in a healthy democratic process, the alarming trend of arresting opposition figures including Mr. Saakashvili and United National Movement leader Nika Melia earlier this year is not the way for Georgia to continue its important democratic and Euro-Atlantic trajectory.
 
As a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I urge the Georgian Dream government to immediately address Mr. Saakashvili’s rapidly deteriorating health conditions by transferring him to a hospital for critical treatment. Guaranteeing Mr. Saakashvili’s unrestricted access to adequate medical care and his legal team is integral to restoring the trust of the people of Sakartvelo and putting Georgia back on its rightful democratic path," - reads the statement by Congressman Brad Sherman.
