, but many people face widespread discrimination in the socially conservative, predominantly Orthodox Christian country.

Mariam Kvaratskhelia told the Reuters news agency that far-right groups had publicly incited violence against LGBT+ activists in the days leading up to the pride festival and said the police and government had not investigated.
