The camera crew of "TV Pirveli" was attacked

The filming crew of "TV Pirveli" was attacked. Journalist Maka Chikhladze and cameraman Giorgi Shetsiruli were injured.

Both of them claim that they were physically assaulted by persons wearing masks.

"We had information that "Titushkas" were attacking protestors on Besik Street, who were not given the opportunity to reach the rally. Whether we came or not, it was a hand-to-hand battle, and of course we started filming. Several people appeared, probably more than 30. Everyone wears the same black mask. It is impossible to identify them because only the eyes are visible. They pushed me, they hit me - "B...oh, what are you doing!", that's how they treated me. At that time, everything was taken from the cameraman, Giorgi Shekiriuli. One of them told him, "Girl, stop it," but he kicked me anyway and left. They had a problem with our news policy: "what are you covering, get out of here." They took away the microphone, tore it from his hand.
