Georgia’s imprisoned former president Mikheil Saakashvili appeared severely emaciated in videolink testimony to a court considering an abuse-of-power case against him.

Mr Saakashvili and his supporters claim he has been poisoned while imprisoned and that he now weighs about 60 kilograms, half of what he weighed when he was arrested in October 2021.
