Police in Georgia were forced to eject dozens of people from Parliament after journalists and opposition lawmakers tried to force their way into the lower house in protest of a news cameraman's death, according to agency video footage and reports.
Protesters were demanding Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili resign following the death of 37-year-old Alexander Lashkarava. The cameraman was "found dead at home by his mother" Sunday, six days after he was severely beaten by demonstrators trying to block an LGBTQ pride event in Georgia's capital, Tbilisi, his employer, TV Pirveli, reported. Lashkarava suffered "multiple facial fractures" when he was attacked while covering counter-demonstrations in Tbilisi against a Pride event called March for Dignity with fellow journalist Miranda Bagaturia, TV Pirveli Commercial Director Nana Aburjanidze told CNN on Sunday.More Related News
