"While Amaghlobeli sits in jail, those who committed brutal attacks on her media colleagues remain free."

Wrote an opinion about Mzia's case. It's 27th day of her hunger strike in jail.

Opinion | Mzia Amaghlobeli is a political prisoner

The authorities in Georgia go to extreme lengths to pursue opponents of the government, while giving tacit approval to those who attack such opponents.

I spent the whole summer traveling across Georgia with families of jailed protesters, delivering newspapers with prisoners’ letters to bazaars and stations. We visited over 20 locations. I've put together a photo story from those trips.

After 5 months, I’m back on this platform. Covering the Georgian protests has been a tough journey for me and my colleagues. As Oct 4 local elections and a major anti-gov rally approach, I’ll post more often. Your support during this time means a lot.
