Freedom in Georgian way

Our “sage Micho Saakashvili became very brave politician, who announced that Georgia had made great leap forward democracy and to observance of human rights. He’s even so naive that continues to figure on EU membership up till now. That’s when we have got into the same list of countries with Sudan extirpating Darfour population, red China, fanatic Iran and dictatorships of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Those countries put in force censorship in Internet. And our bright government made an exhibition of itself together with those “comrades”. But they at least don’t pretend that they’re the most democratic countries in the world. So that’s a great disgrace for us with our ambitions.
My blog and blogs of my friends in live journal is watched by Georgian special service. They’ve already made me two warnings with demand to remove my posts. That is why I decided to write here not in my blog. Seemingly they don’t care that the Occident considers Georgian laws to be “discrepant and rather vague” that creates restriction of freedom of speech in Internet.
Saakashvili defends himself weakly arguing that “Law about Internet” was passed during Shevardnadze in power. But it changes nothing for us. We can’t write what we think openly. At the same time nothing prevents our president from repeal of such draconian law. But he merely doesn’t want to.
