A Polish medical team is ready to go to Georgia to check the health of former president Mikheil Saakashvili, a government spokesman in Warsaw said on Monday, as fears over his condition grow, APA reports citing Reuters.

Saakashvili, 55, was sent to prison in 2021 for six years on charges of abusing his power while president of the ex-Soviet state, a charge he says was politically motivated.

His health deteriorated in prison, where he has staged repeated hunger strikes and alleges he was poisoned. He is being held and treated in a clinic in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi.
