Journalist Ekaterine Dugladze and her husband and cameraman Igor Yevtushenko pose for a photo at a hotel in Georgia's Black Sea resort city of Batumi on July 31 2012. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili boasts that Georgia has become a “beacon of democracy” since he took office in 2004. But critics charge that democracy is dimming. Opposition leaders, watchdogs and journalists like Dugladze and Yevtushenko complain of official intimidation and accuse the government of resorting to Soviet methods of clamping down on dissent.
