2012-08-16 On August 16, 2012, journalist of Gurjaani Information Center Natalia Sarkisashvili was interviewing the population affected by a natural disaster in the village of Velistsikhe, who had not received compensation for the damage. Suddenly she was approached by an employee of Gurjaani water supply company and the UNM’s supporter Guram Gurgenashvili who demanded the journalist present her ID card and strictly warned her to stop recording. In an interview with THE ISFED’s LTO Guram Gurgenashvili explained his actions by saying that he did not want to be captured by the journalist and therefore, he was intimidated.
