Today is a shameful day, a shameful day for Georgia, - the fifth president, Salome Zurabishvili, said after the end of the trial of 21-year-old Mate Devidze, accused of attacking a police officer.

As Zurabishvili said, Mate Devidze has entered our history, and society will not forget him.

"In the hall there was a Georgian flag, the coat of arms and the Statue of Justice - it is an insult to all three. They talk a lot about insults with us and impose fines, in reality, today it is an insult to every person who is standing here and who is not standing here, to every member of society who is silent, because a country where there is no court is not a country. Everyone will pay the price for this tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. Those people who applaud such a shameful decision, the judge, the prosecutor who are sitting in this hall, I don't know what future they will have. I know what future Mate Devidze will have. He has entered our history, we will not forget him. He will be a symbol of our dignity, and they will be the symbol of slavery. They are slaves, I will say this and I will repeat this," Zurabishvili said.
