The Tbilisi City Court adjourned the trial of Lazare Grigoriadis, who was arrested in connection with March 7 - 9 protests for allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails at police and setting fire to a police car.

As a result, he remains in custody. The next session is scheduled for February 26, when the final verdict is expected to be announced.

Grigoriadis’ lawyers and family members accuse the court of deliberately dragging out the trial. They also say that the court has no evidence to convict him, but due to the lack of trust in the judiciary, they still expect a guilty verdict.
