They don't want to hold a trial. I've never seen anything like this. It's been five months and we haven't been able to hold a trial. If they're going to hang me, at least let me know, Levan Khabeishvili said in response to the postponement of his trial.

Levan Khabeishvili said it was important for him to "see justice quickly" because he had nothing to hide.

"The prosecutor doesn't even dispute that I was doing something quietly, that I committed a crime or not. They postponed the tria for a month and a half because they had to prove that when I was on air, it was really me. Now the prosecutor has come and said, let's postpone the trial. What is important to me is the final decision that will be made, and it should happen soon. I have no intention to dispute, my television statement is my television statement. In general, the fact that they are discussing a public political statement, this is a big disaster. If you were to accuse me of doing something quietly, then I would say either "yes" or "no", but I am not accused of doing something quietly, and what I said on TV, not you, but the whole of Georgia knows. I did not hide anything. That is why it is important to hold a trial quickly. My request is that we start the discussion quickly. We haven't made any progress for 4 months. The thing is, I can't wait, I want this justice to be served soon. Let's all finally find out whether public speaking is a crime or not. Whether a politician's public statement is a crime or not, I'm also interested in that. I didn't know before that speaking was a crime. I didn’t know that you would arrest me in September for a statement made in June, what are you waiting for?!”, Khabeishvili said at the trial.
