Georgia: LGBTQ activists cancel Pride march after violence

‘March for Dignity’, which PM had said should not go ahead, cancelled after counter-protesters storm campaigners’ offices in Tbilisi.

Georgian LGBTQ campaigners cancelled their “March for Dignity” Pride event in Tbilisi on Monday after counter-protesters stormed and ransacked their offices. The Tbilisi Pride group accused the government of failing to protect people’s “fundamental rights” amid the unrest, during which campaigners and journalists were reportedly attacked, according to local media. It was not immediately clear how many people had been injured, or to what extent.
