TBILISI: Georgia´s jailed ex-president, Mikheil Saakashvili, had been “poisoned” in custody by heavy metals and risks dying without proper treatment, according to a medical report distributed on Monday by his legal team.
The 54-year-old was transferred to hospital last year after a hunger strike that he maintained for 50 days to protest at his jailing, which rights groups have denounced as politically motivated.
In a report distributed by Saakashvili´s legal team, US-based toxicologist David Smith said “testing has revealed the presence of heavy metals” in Saakashvili´s body and the pathological symptoms he displays “are the result of heavy metal poisoning”.
Storm warnings for high winds, heavy rain and hail also were issued by the National Weather Service on Sunday
