"Nika Melia will be released immediately," - Sputnik Georgia quotes the words of the lawyer Dito Sadzaglishvili after the end of the trial.

Earlier, the Prosecutor General's Office of Georgia sent an appeal to the Tbilisi court with a request to release Melia from arrest.

On February 23, Georgian law enforcement agencies carried out a special operation to detain the UNM chairman, who is accused of organizing the storming of parliament during the anti-Russian actions in the summer of 2019.
