Zurab Chkhaidze, the clinical director of Vivamedi clinic, announced that the health of the founder of Batumelebi and Netgazeti, Mzia Amaglobeli, remains the same, and repeated laboratory tests are being conducted.
Chkhaidze noted that is following the recommendations issued by doctors.
“Mzia Amaglobeli’s condition remains the same. Vital parameters remain within the normal range, and she is under medical monitoring. She is following the recommendations issued by doctors. She is also undergoing additional, repeat laboratory tests,” Chkhaidze said.
Mzia Amaglobeli was initially transferred from the penitentiary institution to the Vivamedi clinic for the purpose of conducting medical tests. She has now been on a hunger strike for 30 days.
Amaglobeli is facing 4 to 7 years in prison for slapping a police officer during her arrest on January 12, an incident that led to her detention. On January 14, Batumi City Court ordered her imprisonment as a preventive measure under Article 353 of the Criminal Code. Human rights organizations and political figures, both in Georgia and abroad, consider her a political prisoner.
