Tina Bokuchava, the chairwoman of the United National Movement, was expelled from the trial of 10 people arrested in connection with the events that took place near the Atoneli Palace on October 4.

The decision was made by Judge Irakli Shvangiradze.

During the hearing, bailiffs ordered one of the citizens to delete a photo taken by his phone, which was followed by Bokuchava’s remark: “Maybe you will even arrest him?” After this, Judge Shvangiradze told her to stand up.

“I am not acting on the orders of the Russians,” Bokuchava replied, after which the judge asked her to state her name.

“Google it,” Bokuchava replied, after which she was expelled from the courtroom.

“You are expelled for disrespect and disobedience to the court,” - Judge Irakli Shvangiradze addressed her.

“Georgia will win, you will be punished!” - With these words, Bokuchava addressed the judge again and left the courtroom.
