Action of protest against attacks on media has taken place in Poti

Representatives of a number of Georgian non-government human rights organizations and local television have held a manifestation in the western Georgian town of Poti today.

The participants protested against the frequent cases of attacks on representatives of mass media by law-enforcement agencies. In particular, the office of the local Poti newspaper was raided two weeks ago. The newspaper ceased publishing as a result of it.

On October 11, while shooting an anti-governmental rally of the Kmara youth movement, the crew of Rustavi 2 TV channel, as well as journalists of Channel 9 TV company, was attacked in Poti.
