  • Seventy-five-year-old Marina Terishvili's teenage son Mamuka was shot dead at a nationalist rally in Georgia in 1992. Now her other son, Giorgi, has been arrested for his role in protests against perceived Russian influence in their homeland.

The article from MSN discusses the escalating tensions in Georgia over a controversial "foreign agents" bill, which has led to widespread protests and a harsh government crackdown.
