Davit Kirkitadze, a member of the United National Movement and the Parliament, left the ongoing trial on his own criminal case in protest.
Kirkitadze's friends and supporters also left the courtroom.
As the accused MP said, "Georgian court is not a place where a person can find justice."
I would like to remind you and the public of the factual circumstances. I'm the person whose statement started this criminal case, I'm the person who called the police from his own phone when we's office was attacked.
Peaceful people were attacked, I apologize to these people that then I could not defend their dignity. Police did not show up and reasoned that the office had been broken into and they had gone elsewhere. We show the public how they were insulted by the police there and how they got out of there, instead of protecting people. I would like to thank each member of the City Council for not agreeing to blackmail and bribery of the "Georgian Dream".
Here, the Georgian people were sentenced by the Georgian Dream and lost the elections. I defended my dignity by my behavior. I'm not going to participate and listen to what is going to happen here. The Georgian court is not a place where one can find justice, as evidenced by the trials of Mikheil Saakashvili. “Freedom to Mikheil Saakashvili, we are leaving this hall,” Kirkitadze said.
