This is my friend - Beka Korshia, one of Georgia’s brightest minds, an exceptionally talented television host, who has exposed government’s corruption schemes for years.
He was reportedly arrested in Tbilisi tonight. His whereabouts and condition unknown.

My aunt Sveta in Moscow said she was listening to Ekho Moskvy when it was turned off a few minutes ago. She thought it was a technical error--they were on the air and then suddenly all she heard was a hissing sound. It had been on the air in Moscow since 1990.
