One Brave Soul Returns Home

Seeing the release of numerous prisoners including Evan Gershkovich reminds us how important our freedom is and the need to protect it.

The specific case of Evan Gershkovich is a warning about press freedoms too. No matter what he was charged with, the reality was he was imprisoned for his journalism work, his capacity to tell us the truth and hopefully we will still be able to hear him. 

The world will be a better place when there is nothing to warn us about, but until then we need the bravery of Evan and many others, and to remember those who have lost their lives warning us. There have been too many lost to us.
