Opponents of March of Dignity physically assaulted Interpressews photo correspondent

Opponents of the March of Dignity physically assaulted Giorgi Nikolishvili, the Interpressnews photo correspondent.

The agency's photojournalist was attacked by several people near the Kashveti church. He has injuries on his face. The injured photo reporter is being taken to the Aladashvili clinic at the moment.

The camera is also damaged.

Opponents of the march physically assaulted members of other media outlets too. Several other journalists and cameramen were injured.

Interpressnews calls on the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ensure the safety of media representatives working on site.

For the record, opponents of the march have been confronting journalists, cameramen and other media representatives for several hours now, but due to the insufficient mobilization of the police, law enforcement officers find it difficult to ensure their safety.
