Did you see any consolidation of particularly organized bandit criminal groups, any organized attacks, assaults, counterattacks, anything like that there? On that day, October 4, in Atoneli Square? - opposition politician Murtaz Zodelava, arrested in the October 4 case, asked special forces officer Ioseb Rostiashvili, who is being questioned at a court hearing regarding the case.

As Zodelava noted, the special forces officer talks in detail about the processes that generally accompany the rally, but does not describe a picture that would confirm that a special attack took place on October 4.

"At various times, you have participated in the processes accompanying the protests, as an authorized person. You are a citizen of Georgia and you have also seen other protests. You, within the scope of your authority, participated in protests, saw many protests, many clashes and are an eyewitness to this protest, the protest taking place near Atoneli Square. Your answers contained the position of an eyewitness, as an employee of the special forces and a person who saw the process as a protest, a clash and a process accompanying the protest. Did you see any consolidation of particularly organized bandit criminal groups, any organized attacks, assaults, counterattacks, anything like that there? On that day, October 4, in Atoneli Square? Let's give examples, no one threw the so-called Molotov cocktail on October 4, right? You didn't see that. Because you described well the moments of stone throwing, clashes, this situation that is generally characteristic of the rally in Georgia and even in quasi-democratic countries. Have you noticed anything like that? Was there a special moment? Organized groups? We know that there were no weapons and could not be, "- said Zodelava.
