According to the spread information, on September 7, 2021, during the work process, the operator of the company "Pirveli TV " was hit in the leg by the car. The journalist was also in danger.

The Charter of Journalistic Ethics urges the government to protect the safety of journalists and to create appropriate working conditions for the media in the course of their professional activities, so that citizens have the opportunity to receive information about current processes. The Charter urges the Ministry of Internal Affairs to quickly and effectively investigate each case of attack on journalists.

The Charter believes that the recent increase in attacks on journalists is caused by the aggressive rhetoric of the government and the inappropriate response of law enforcement agencies.

This is not the first time journalists have been attacked. The Charter has repeatedly responded to attacks on media representatives.
