**Tensions Run High in Saba Skhirtladze Trial**
A dramatic scene unfolded yesterday at the trial of Saba Skhirtladze, a young man detained during a protest. The incident occurred during a brief recess granted by Judge Jvebe Nachkebia to allow the defendant’s family members into the courtroom.
As the judge took his break, Skhirtladze’s acquaintances clashed with representatives from the school security service outside the courtroom. The dispute centered around the presence of what they claimed was an “unnecessarily large number” of police officers in the courtroom. These individuals demanded that the police be removed and replaced by Skhirtladze’s relatives.
**A Difficult Situation for the Judge**
Judge Nachkebia, who had been praised for conducting previous hearings constructively, faced a tough challenge in maintaining order. He acknowledged the sensitivity of the case and the emotional toll it was taking on all parties involved. The judge urged everyone to remain calm and continue with the hearing as planned.
In an attempt to de-escalate the situation, additional security personnel from the court were brought into the courtroom alongside police officers. Despite this, tensions remained high for a short time before the trial resumed.
**Testimony Continues**
At present, Investigator Salome Edisherashvili is providing testimony as part of the ongoing trial. The investigation and subsequent proceedings have been closely watched due to their sensitive nature and the potential implications for all parties involved.
This incident highlights the challenges faced by judges in managing emotionally charged cases while ensuring a fair trial for everyone. The events outside the courtroom also underscore the complex relationships between law enforcement, protesters, and those affected by these incidents.
