EU lawmakers call on Georgian authorities to improve Merabishvili's conditions

Members of the European Parliament have called on the Georgian authorities to improve the living conditions of former prime minister Vano Merabishvili, who was previously arrested.

Four members of the EU parliamentary committee for defense and security have visited the former official in prison and made an official statement. According to the lawmakers, Merabishvili's access to information has been limited and he has no chance to meet with members of his family.

One of the lawmakers has also said that the arrest had been politically motivated.
