Journalists’ Safety in Georgia

“Journalists’ Safety in Georgia” is a project that monitors violations committed against journalists in Georgia.

Since January 2024, the project has documented actions aimed at obstructing journalists’ work, persecuting journalists based on their profession, and other related activities in Georgia.

Cases of attacks on journalists, harassment, and similar incidents are recorded on a map only if the project team determines that the actions taken against them are connected to their journalistic activities.

The project is funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Georgia.
