His Majesty's Ambassador to Georgia has discussed Mr Saakashvili's health and detention conditions with the Georgian Government and with Mr Saakashvili's supporters on several occasions. The former Foreign Secretary discussed Mr Saakashvili's detention with Georgian Foreign Minister Darchiashvili in January 2023. The UK is clear that Mr Saakashvili must receive treatment in line with international human rights standards, and that any further hearings regarding his case are in line with the rule of law and due process. We continue to follow the imprisonment of Mr Saakashvili's closely.
