Jumping down freedom of speech’s ‘throat’

All those problems of brewing conflict between USA and Iran overshadow crying shame happening in Ukraine and Georgia.
Ukrainian Parliament (Rada) couldn't bear with trampling of freedom of press when Ukrainian Foreign Minister forbids journalists attend Ministry session and when clipping service of Presidential Secretariat drives press out of Natonal Security Council conference. Deputies disputed against government control over Ukrainian mass media. And at once Yushchenko made decree about Rada's dissolution.
Georgia went much further. Ukraine have kept up till now semblance of democracy. And Saakashvili's regime has already intimidated everyone in the country. In April 17 leaders of some Georgian political associations and independent organizations carried on protest action against violation, social oppressions, inhumanity and shamelessness of Georgian president and his team. For there is no appearance of freedom of speech in Georgia. Journalists can't even begin preparing of materials objectionable for authorities. There is CIA secret prison on near Georgian border built for Iranian war. It is packed with disagreeable journalists. And for sure after that protest action its participants will occur there quite soon.
This prison is source for ?'live material' for different provocations. If Saakashvili needs to discredit some influential politician he just accuses him in murder of journalist. Luckily he's got plenty of them within easy reach. No wonder that world community hears so seldom voice of indignation and call for help from Georgia and Ukraine. No one pays attention that all independent organizations desire to leave Georgia and the mass media speak just what Orange government dictates them. In Ukraine the president has violated constitution and usurped the power. Human rights defenders should take appropriate measures for saving democracy in those countries promptly.
