"Mzia Amaghlobeli’s story also resonates with what she represents. Georgia’s independent media is under assault because it poses an obstacle to the rise of autocracy and keeps alive the hope of a democratic renaissance," writes @JDevdariani.

Today, as ever, the fight for true independence continues.
