Sitting of Legal Issues Committee suspended over controversy

Eka Beselia, the independent deputy, did not allow Anri Okhanashvili, the Chairperson of the Legal Issues Committee, to start the voting procedure for the candidates for the Supreme Court.

Beselia sat beside Anri Okhanashvili and interrupted him. Okhanashvili turned off the microphone and announced a five-minute break.

The time for the break has expired, though there is still noise in the hall of the Legal Issues Committee, and the voting process cannot begin. The Resource Officers made journalists leave the hall, but after some noise, the journalists were allowed to return.
