Cathy Macherel was targeted with vicious insults by far-right essayist and filmmaker Alain “Soral'' Bonnet.

54 media workers were physically assaulted by a far-right anti-LGBTQ group in the Georgian capital. The news crew belonged to 16 different media companies and at least 14 women journalists were among those attacked.

Not only was this a vicious assault on the principles of free press but also an indication of the severe dangers that sexual minorities face in the country.
