The human rights defender Zviad Achishvili, was bitten up and physically offended on the bases of Xenophobia. It is known that Achishvili was conducting a meeting with the population of the Pankisi Gorgeat Akhmeta Municipality. As per local community, their rights are not respected and they suffer comparative injustice with the rest of population of Georgian ethnicity. After the meeting Achishvili was driving back to Tbilisi, he was stopped by the strangers, and started biting him without even saying the reason. There is one more member of Equality Movement, who was arrested. 

BY this moment the lawyer of Yong Lawyer’s Association is trying to obtain the right of visiting Achishvili and his companion. Achishvili was transferred to the resuscitation unit of the Akhmeta hospital.

Mak.ge is trying to contact ministry of internal affairs of Georgia and we will provide any updates that will be obtained.
