Levan Khabeishvili: They were abusing me for several minutes, they told me to say that I am a "criminal and a bad person"

They were abusing me for several minutes. They told me to say that I am a "criminal and a bad person" and in this case they would not beat me, said the chairman of the National Movement, Levan Khabeishvili.

According to Khabeishvili, he didn't give them the luxury of that, and as he noted, "he looks appropriate" because of that.

"They were abusing me for several minutes. They told me to say that I am a "criminal and a bad person" and in this case they would not beat me, but of course I didn't give them the luxury of that and I look like this because of it. But again, this is nothing compared to what they are doing to the young people. My dears, this is not a party matter, it applies to all of you, use politicians for the national interest of this country, whether you like it or not", Khabeishvili noted.

For information, the Chairman of United Natio­­nal Movement, Levan Khabeishvili was injured last night during a rally near the Parliament. Khabeishvili said that he was physically assaulted by tens of representatives of special forces.
