I have second-degree gangrene, I have difficulty moving, I cannot be left in prison, I am a 58-year-old man, I am not a small child, but I cannot confess to something I did not commit, - Kakhaber Mzhavanadze, who was detained in connection with the events that took place on October 4, stated.

Mzhavanadze delivered his final speech in court.

"There is a lot to say, I swear that I will tell the truth, only the truth and nothing else. I have a wife and two children... I also have health problems, but I still cannot tell the lies that you made people tell, you spat into people's souls.

I have second-degree gangrene, I have difficulty moving, I cannot be left in prison, I am a 58-year-old man, I am not a small child. After your sentence, I do not know what will happen, but I still cannot say what did not happen.

The fence collapsed half a meter from me, I did not take a step inside, how can you tell me that I was attacking and to admit it, I cannot admit it," said Mzhavanadze.
