The plenary session, where Minister of Justice Rati Bregadze is heard, started with tension.

Deputies of the National Movement faction, holding banners, left the session as a sign of protest.

The photos of Mikheil Saakashvili, the third president of Georgia, cut from the video footage distributed by the Penitentiary Service were depicted on banners.

The inscription on the banners was: "Don't kill!".
