Badri Japaridze - The trial of political leaders on unimaginable, fabricated charges is a fight against statehood - the closure of the hearing is an indication that they do not want the public to know what lies behind the process
Zurab Japaridze - The session was closed so that people wouldn't hear what madness they were talking about - the prosecutor is a person who tells me: I must send you to prison for sanctioning me
Giorgi Vashadze on the so-called sabotage case - There is a blank sheet in my case, on which is indicated the name, surname and article, nothing more - we are dealing with a great absurdity, there is no evidence
Zurab Girchi Japaridze on “sabotage case” – There is no evidence in the case, it is simply a collection of various public speeches, false testimonies of about 20 police officers, where they tell some fairy tales
Nika Gvaramia: The "Moscow Mechanism" report is the most severe for "Georgian Dream" and it shows on their faces too - if "Dream" has not completely lost its vision for its own future, it must take some rational steps
Ursula von der Leyen: Visa suspension could be extended to the entire population if the authorities do not resolve the problems - negotiations continue on sanctions against those responsible for democratic backsliding and rights violations

Nika Gvaramia granted bail of 30,000 GEL as a restrictive measure in the so-called sabotage case
Nika Gvaramia - You can't find me in the materials of the so-called sabotage case, I am vaguely mentioned in 2 sentences and I can't provide the content, so I don't know what to argue about, I didn't do anything, as for the unification of the opposition, it is impossible to fail
Zurab-Girchi Japaridze – As long as all leaders of political forces are sitting at the trial together, that country has no chance of getting closer to the West
Maia Kopaleishvili: The illegal imprisonment of politicians and the so-called “sabotage case” are revenge against politicians - I want to tell “Georgian Dream” they will not intimidate pro-Western parties
Elene Khoshtaria on the so-called sabotage case - This is the prosecution of the West by the Russian regime, publicly and openly - I will only be happy if my contribution is at least 1% in the sanctioning of Ivanishvili
Zurab Japaridze on the so-called sabotage case: The case is nonsense, but why are they doing it? - To put all the prominent opposition leaders together in court, spread the photo, and show it to Ivanishvili’s voters
The case of 8 politicians accused in the so-called sabotage case - Mikheil Saakashvili, Nika Melia, Nika Gvaramia, Zurab “Girchi” Japaridze, Giorgi Vashadze, Zurab Japaridze, Mamuka Khazaradze, and Elene Khoshtaria - has been referred to court for full consideration
Giorgi Vashadze: What happened that everyone is on the defendant’s bench and the prosecution is accusing us under extraordinary articles? - There is no evidence of my dealings with Ukraine that I obtained or gave any military information
Mikheil Saakashvili at the hearing: I expect another 3 years - my sentence will be 16 years - that’s how much serial killers and pedophiles get
Nika Gvaramia at court: In a 40-volume case, there are only two sentences where I’m mentioned
