Mikheil Saakashvili has chronic diseases that create the danger of death, especially, I want to emphasize convulsions and convulsive attacks, which can lead to sudden death if he is not treated correctly, American expert and neurologist Shakhin Emmanuel Laheen said in the City Court, when being questioned as a witness.
The expert noted that he, as a neuropathologist, believes that the serious diseases that Saakashvili is suffering from are impeding factors for serving the sentence.
“I can say about Saakashvili’s health condition that he is seriously ill. He suffers from various dysfunctions, including those of the brain, spinal cord, digestive system. The most severe diagnosis is unspecified dementia, convulsions, as well as damage to the peripheral nervous system, which makes it difficult for him to walk”, said the expert.
According to the neurologist, “Saakashvili’s dementia is rapidly worsening”. As the expert pointed out, this leads to the disruption of the person’s daily activities, such as self-care and showering.
“As for the dementia, I can tell you that his condition is getting worse very quickly. Dementia causes impairment in a person’s daily activities, such as self-care, showering, etc. As far as I have seen in the last 8 months, there is a very sharp and rapid worsening of his condition, and given the fact that he is not receiving the right treatment, I do not see the possibility that he will recover under these conditions,” said the expert.
