 When a regime persistently violates a range of human rights, what should journalists do? If they report the facts, should they be targeted, threatened and physically abused? Mzia Amaglobeli, co-founder of the independent news platforms Batumelebi and Netgazeti, is currently on trial in Georgia. In January, she was arrested twice in in one night, by the same officer. Her first arrest was for distributing stickers calling for a general strike - this is not illegal. Having been identified as a senior figure in the independent media, she was released, but then a trap was set. Having been knocked to the ground in a stampede, she was verbally abused by the arresting officer until she final cracked and slapped him. Her subsequent detention and ill treatment has had a profound impact on her health. If convicted, she faces 4-7 years in jail. Mzia is not the only journalist targeted by Georgian Dream - far from it - but she has become a symbol for the resistance to authoritarian rule. In this episode, her friend and colleague, Irma Dimitradze, explains the background to Mzia's arrest, and summarises her detention and trial.
