Chairman of the opposition United National Movement party Nika Melia said today that on New Year's Eve, 150 party members stopped their hunger strike, as they were asked to do so by the founder of the UNM, ex-President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili.
"Last night, Saakashvili's lawyer conveyed to the hunger strikers the words of the ex-president asking to stop the hunger strike. He said that otherwise, he will start the hunger strike himself," Nika Melia explained.
