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
Elene Khoshtaria: A large protest must be planned, forces must be consolidated, and all actors must jointly mobilize the people - as a clear statement that the people are fighting
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
Giorgi Vashadze at court: To defend yourself, you must know what you’re accused of
Mikheil Saakashvili: I plead not guilty to the “insulting the shark” charge
Pretrial hearing in the so-called sabotage case underway at Tbilisi City Court - Mikheil Saakashvili, Nika Gvaramia, Zurab Japaridze, Giorgi Vashadze, and Badri Japaridze Attend
Giorgi Vashadze on the so-called sabotage case: This case exists to stop our struggle and silence us
Zurab Japaridze on the sabotage case: In reality, we are being prosecuted because the U.S. sanctioned Bidzina Ivanishvili
Badri Japaridze on the so-called “sabotage” case: When something undermines our country, processes like this happen - it’s new to group politicians and try them collectively
Elene Khoshtaria to Georgian Dream - Yes! You will not be recognized either from Rustaveli, or from parties, or from prisons, or from emigration, or from the kitchen - the registration of the "Do you love me or not" law is a new peak of grotesque
Elene Khoshtaria - The activation of the OSCE "Moscow Mechanism" is a very serious signal - this is the first step to punish the Dream for the use of chemical weapons, and such steps are not taken without thinking about the next steps
Elene Khoshtaria - The only issue that can be debated with the Dream is the scheduling of new elections
Giorgi Vashadze - My name, surname and 15-year sentence are written in the case materials, there is nothing, not even falsified evidence - they are asking for 30,000 GEL as bail, I will pay it
Giorgi Vashadze’s trial scheduled in court on the so-called sabotage case
Peter Fischer - We are not regime change agents, we don't care who governs Georgia
