Elene Khoshtaria to Be Transferred to Civilian Clinic for Examination Amid Health Concerns

Elene Khoshtaria, the jailed leader of Georgia's opposition Droa party, will be transferred to the civilian Vivamedi clinic in Tbilisi for examination after her health reportedly deteriorated in prison. Officials confirmed the transfer will occur in about two days, under the supervision of her personal doctors. Khoshtaria was detained in September 2025 for writing 'Russian Dream' on a campaign banner and sentenced to 18 months for property damage. Her lawyer has raised alarms about inadequate medical care, warning of irreversible damage, while the Penitentiary Service denies the allegations.
