Timur Tskhovrebov, an independent journalist and civil society activist, was attacked and badly beaten in Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia, a breakaway territory from Georgia. The attackers also issued threats against his colleague Maria Pliyeva. Both activists are currently outside South Ossetia, but their safety is at risk if they return.
