An opposition activist in Georgia is recovering after being severely beaten by unknown attackers.

Kakha Khozelishvili was attacked on April 5 by several masked assailants, who also sicced dogs on Khozelishvili, according to RFE/RL's correspondent in Tbilisi.

Khozelishvili is an active member of the Democratic Movement-United Georgia party led by the former parliament speaker Nino Burjanadze.

An aide to Burjanadze, Eliso Khachapuridze, told RFE/RL that the assailants also warned Khozelishvili that they would kill his daughter.

Georgia's Interior Ministry told RFE/RL that they have not received any official complaint from Khozelishvili.
