R&I – FS

A TV news cameraman died in the country of Georgia after he was brutally attacked by a far-right mob protesting an LGBTQ Pride march, his employer says.

Alexander Lashkarav, 37, who worked for the independent station TV Pirveli, was found dead in his bed early Sunday after his violent beatdown in the former Soviet republic’s capital city, Tbilisi, last week, the Guardian reported.

The cameraman was among more than 50 journalists who were targeted July 5 by violent hate groups protesting the upcoming Pride march before it was canceled due to safety concerns, the outlet reported.
