    Georgia has lost its position as the press freedom leader of the
    Caucasus, according Reporters Without Borders' 2011 report. Out of
    a total 179 evaluated states, Georgia fell to 104th place, behind
    Armenia's 77th place. Russia appeared at 142nd, and Azerbaijan
    trails the Caucasian nations at 162nd. The document cites the abuse
    of journalists during the opposition rally on May 26, 2011. Video
    and still cameras were confiscated or broken, with some journalists
    beaten and detained. Later, four photographers were arrested on a
    charge of espionage.
