The Droa opposition party leader Elene Khoshtaria, who has ended her hunger strike after 17 days, is reportedly ‘stable’ and under medical supervision. Khoshtaria stopped her protest last night after her demand to transfer the ex-president from a prison hospital to a multifunctional clinic was met.

Khoshtaria went for rehabilitation to New Hospitals clinic in Tbilisi. The clinic's intensive care specialist Aleksandre Mkhargrdzeli told the press that Khoshtaria is receiving the intravenous infusions.

The patient's condition is stable. Exams show satisfactory results... After IV infusions, she will start specialised feeding with small portions, Mkhargrdzeli said.
