Georgia's jailed ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili declared a new hunger strike then abandoned it within hours on Wednesday as he faced further delay in a legal bid to get medical treatment abroad.
Saakashvili, who led the former Soviet republic as a pro-Western reformer from 2004 to 2013, is serving a six-year sentence for abuse of power, a charge that he and his supporters say was politically motivated.
