According to the Georgian special penitentiary service, the policy was transferred by the decision of the administration of the prison in Rustavi, based on the wishes of Saakashvili himself.
«The prison administration suggested that Saakashvili be with a cellmate, but he flatly refused, as evidenced by the relevant documentation. That is why Saakashvili was placed in a single prison cell at his request,» the agency said, claiming that the politician was in the cell. With criminals «does not correspond to reality».
Also «untrue» and information that the politician is not allowed his associates, say Georgian penitentiaries.
Saakashvili's personal doctor has already visited him in the cell, «so for the next visit he must apply to the penitentiary service with all the necessary documents, as well as justify the reasons for meeting with Saakashvili,» the service added.
