November 19, 2024 - Georgia, Tbilisi

Women Press Freedom stands with the journalists attacked this morning in Tbilisi, including Mari Nikuradze, who fell twice, and camera operators violently assaulted by riot police while covering protests against election results.

The protests, sparked by violations of voter secrecy, are calling for new elections after allegations of electoral fraud.

As Georgia faces mounting press freedom threats, including the controversial foreign agent law, these attacks on journalists, media, and NGOs highlight the urgent need for international intervention. The global community must demand accountability and stronger protections for the press.
