October 4 has acquired many myths, and the government myth has sacrificed another person - Bacho Akhalaia, who was arrested a few days ago in connection with this case, - Murtaz Zodelava, the former Prosecutor General, who was arrested in the October 4 case, stated at the trial.

According to him, there were many myths and expectations regarding the rally, for example, that "some people would go over to the side of people."

“It was a peaceful and legal, spontaneous, public demonstration that was not organized. There was a sincere protest, where many people came, because creative messages were spread. This date has become a mythological date. Apparently, there was hope among people that someone might come over to the side of people. In recent days, a myth has even been created that Ivanishvili became a friend of Burchuladze.

This date has acquired many myths. The government myth also sacrificed another person - Bacho Akhalaia, who was arrested a few days ago. The other side's myth was that some people would go over to the side of people.

My goal was to fill the nearby location with people. Therefore, the investigation should proceed under the article of picketing, and not under the articles that are being pursued today.

State propaganda is powerful, multi-billion dollar propaganda. This was a demonstration that had not been organized.

The absolutely inexperienced leader of the rally, perhaps unintentionally, provoked some action. We said the word "peace" more often than the coordinator of the Georgian Dream before the elections.

Months passed and nothing could be established," said Murtaz Zodelava.

As Zodelava noted, "this political drama has also turned into a social drama, because the majority of those accused are in a difficult social situation."
