Three Georgian photojournalists, including the personal photographer of President Mikheil Saakashvili, have been charged with spying for Russia. Officials say they passed confidential information to Russian intelligence. The Georgian interior ministry released a video in which the president's photographer, Irakli Gedenidze, said he had been blackmailed. Georgia has arrested dozens of suspected Russian spies since the two countries fought a brief war in 2008. Russian officials blame Georgian authorities of spy mania. President Saakashvili commented: "This is not about paranoia but it's about the rule of law and equality of everyone."
