TOL Georgia comments on the death of Badri Patarkatsishvili in London at the age of 52. The blog remembers Georgia's richest man who in recent years has been synonymous with support for opposition groups in the country and who was harshly critical of the Georgian authorities. However, the blog reminds its readers, Patarkatsishvili was also prolific in many charitable endeavors and was persecuted or ostracized until his untimely death.
