Operators and journalists gathered at the media solidarity rally in "Republic Square" blocked the road.

As the participants of the rally noted, the purpose of today's gathering is to express solidarity towards each other.

The participants of the rally brought to the place the photos of the media representatives who were injured during the coverage of the ongoing demonstrations in the country.

We would like to remind you that yesterday the cameraman of "TV Pirveli" Giorgi Shetsiruli and the journalist Maka Chikhladze were attacked by masked persons while performing their duties.

Both of them have concussions. The Special Investigation Service started an investigation under the second part of Article 154 of the Criminal Law Code of Georgia, which provides for illegal obstruction of the journalist's professional activities.
