MOSCOW, Oct 23 — Jailed former Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili, who has been on a hunger strike, was given a blood transfusion late yesterday and is in stable condition, Interfax news agency quoted his personal doctor as saying today.

He faces up to six years in jail after being convicted in absentia in 2018 of abuse of power and concealing evidence when he was president, charges he rejects as politically motivated. Kipshidze believes that Saakashvili should be transferred to a city hospital because “the crisis can recur and it would be difficult to cope with it in a prison hospital,” Interfax added.
