Tbilisi City Court has been hearing Nika Melia's case for more than 2 hours. The prosecutor's office demands that Nika Melia be taken into custody and that the defendant, who has once been already expelled, appear in the courtroom.

If the accused wishes to attend, a break should be announced and the accused Nika Melia should attend the trial - Prosecutor Sadradze addressed Melia's lawyers. The lawyers even claim that the accused has the right to ask the judge to appear in court. During all this time that he has been expelled from the process, have you filed a motion to return him to the courtroom? - Beka Basilaia, a lawyer, answered the prosecutor.
