Protesters were demanding Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili resign following the death of 37-year-old Alexander Lashkarava. The cameraman was found dead at home by his mother Sunday, six days after he was severely beaten by demonstrators trying to block an LGBTQ pride event in Georgia s capital, Tbilisi, his employer, TV Pirveli, reported.
