"I don't like a dictatorial and murderous government, so am I guilty? I prefer being in prison to living as a slave," stated the convicted Rezo Kiknadze during his final speech in the Court of Appeals. According to him, today the police do not protect people from criminals; instead, they themselves are criminals. "We couldn't understand what we did wrong. How can lies be explained? Should we call empty words evidence? Have you read the witnesses' testimonies? What connection did you find between their testimonies and the defendants? Because of empty evidence, they left us in detention; we're in a circus. Do you arrest people based on assumptions? A person who has sat unjustly in prison for 2 years — will they be the same as before? For 15 months, they've had our phones and found nothing. Do you think it's hard for me to sit here [in prison]? No, every day I get stronger here, but what about my mother who is suffering, my father who is suffering, my grandmother who is suffering? You have a mother — can you imagine what she might go through if her child is unjustly detained? Am I guilty because I don't like a dictatorial and murderous government? I prefer living as a slave in prison. Is there some course for preparing false witnesses? If not, then why did every interrogated witness come out with the same text? If you're called a truthful witness and not a charlatan in a jester's hat, you should say what connection we had with each other — but none of them said that. The witnesses couldn't even say whether they really received injuries or not. The presented videos are our alibi. It's visible that I threw a handkerchief. If you turn on the sound, you'll hear how the police address the protest participants. If we had an organizer, why didn't we wear masks, why didn't we cover our faces? It's illogical. When they kicked a curly-haired boy in the head with their feet, wasn't that a crime? Did they detain even one special forces officer? But they put handcuffs on us in an instant. The police do not protect us from criminals; instead, they themselves are criminals. Since this is my last word in court and I won't have another chance, I always wanted to end my speech like this: Abkhazia and Samachablo are Georgia," stated Rezo Kiknadze. For information: In the Tbilisi Court of Appeals, the trial of the convicted individuals — actor Andro Chichinadze, humorist Onise Tskhadadze, and 9 others — is ongoing, where the defense side is delivering closing statements. The Tbilisi City Court acquitted the 11 individuals detained on charges of participating in organized group violence — Andro Chichinadze, Onise Tskhadadze, Jano Archaia, Ruslan Sivakov, Luka Jabua, Guram Mirtskhulava, Valeri Tetrashvili, Giorgi Terishvili, Irakli Kerashvili, Revaz Kiknadze, and Sergei Kukharchuk — of the said charge, but reclassified the accusation: they were found guilty of participating in group actions. Judge Nino Galustashvili sentenced each defendant to 2 years of imprisonment. The 11 detained individuals were charged under Article 225, Part 2 of the Criminal Code, which involves participation in organized group violence and provides for imprisonment from 4 to 6 years. Judge Galustashvili reclassified the charge under Article 226 of the Criminal Code, which involves active participation in group actions that disrupted public order.
