I believe that the opposition MPs in the Parliament should make a decision on whether or not to stay there, depending on whether a person will be sentenced to death, National Movement chairman Nika Melia told reporters at the Tbilisi City Court.

As Melia explains, Rati Bregadze deliberately damages the state, its best interests and its future.

"When there are so many diseases, conclusion after conclusion is drawn, and you are still talking about needing a month to investigate something, you just want the person to remain incapacitated. Rati Bregadze deliberately damages the state, its best interests and its future. In the same way, too many people deliberately harmed the state when they killed Zviad Gamsakhurdia. The same is done by Rati Bregadze, the same is done by Georgian Dream deputies.

I believe that the opposition MPs in the Parliament should make a decision on whether to stay or not to stay there, depending on whether a person will be sentenced to death," said Nika Melia.

As Melia points out, keeping a person in captivity for one year damages the state's interests.

"What the government is doing is very bad. This government is doing everything to make Mikheil Saakashvili incapacitated. They are doing everything to give the state a very big, painful blow, the attempt to kill the third president of the country will not be easy for anyone, no one will be forgiven. For almost 30 years, they have been talking about killing the country's first president, but they are talking less about under whos government Gamsakhurdia was killed.

Keeping a person in captivity for one year is detrimental to the state's interests. The interests of the state are harmed by depriving a person of his constitutionally granted rights even in captivity, he was not even allowed to make a phone call for 1 year, he is not brought to trial and is not connected remotely. What more can you do to a person in captivity?" says Melia.
