Coalition: Restricting Media Activity in Parliament Is a Continuation of Repressive Policy Against Independent Media

The Media Advocacy Coalition responds to the Parliament of Georgia's decision to suspend the parliamentary accreditation of Khatia Samkharadze, a journalist with TV Pirveli, for one month, and assesses this decision as another manifestation of restricting independent media. According to the coalition, journalists in Parliament are being restricted in their ability to work normally, which violates media rights and deprives the public of the opportunity to receive important information about the processes taking place in Parliament.
