Following the trial of Mikheil Saakashvili, a group of the former president’s supporters verbally attacked GPB First Channel photo reporter Irakli Gedenidze.

One supporter confronted Gedenidze, questioning why he was fulfilling his professional duty by photographing Saakashvili’s court proceedings.

Irakli Gedenidze has served as a photo reporter for over 20 years, even having been Saakashvili’s personal photographer.

In 2011, he was wrongfully detained on espionage charges related to the release of photographs taken during the May 26 protests. However, in 2018, the Court of Appeals found him not guilty and acquitted him during the case re-investigation.
