Lasha Chkhartishvili: I prefer imprisonment to unfair penalty

The trial of Lasha Chkhartishvili, detained in front of the Parliament, is underway at Tbilisi City Court.

Chkhartishvili told reporters before the trial that his detention was politically motivated.

"This is my 13th arrest, during 7 of them I was imprisoned. I prefer imprisonment, rather than such an unfair penalty, but it doesn't matter to me what the court will decide," Lasha Chkhartishvili said.

The process was supposed to take place on January 3 but was postponed. The defendant's lawyer Ia Siranishvili filed the motion to delay the hearing. She thought it was necessary to see the video recorded by the police cameras. The judge agreed to do so and instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to submit the records.

Chkhartishvili was arrested on January 3 in Tbilisi, near the Parliament.

The investigation is in progress under Articles 166 and 173 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, which imply petty hooliganism and disobedience to law enforcers.
