Mikheil Saakashvili, the jailed former president of Georgia, appeared in court via video link on Wednesday to show how much weight he had lost while incarcerated, as associates renewed calls for him to be freed for urgent medical treatment.
His supporters say authorities are denying him proper treatment. Georgian authorities say he is feigning the gravity of his condition in order to secure early release.
Zelenskiy urged authorities to abide by European human rights protection norms, saying "I urge the world to help save Mikheil's life and prevent his execution".
