InterPresNews photo correspondent granted victim status

InterPresNews photo correspondent Giorgi Nikolishvili, who was physically assaulted by anti-Pride demonstrators on July 5, has been granted victim status.

"As far as we have found out, he has been granted the victim status, but as he is in the hospital, he has not yet received the document. These days, as soon as the opportunity arises, this ordinance will be announced. If necessary, he will be interviewed at the clinic, but so far, of course, his health condition is the most important," - said lawyer Nestan Londaridze.

On July 5, Giorgi Nikolishvili was attacked and beaten by several people in the vicinity of Kashueti Church. He lost consciousness as a result of the attack and has been hospitalized.
