Georgia police accused of beating protesters against foreign influence' bill
Briefly

Riot police in Georgia have been accused of beating protesters who were picketing outside the parliament, leading to fresh scenes of violence on Monday morning.
Protesters sought to stop a bill that would force NGOs and media to register if over 20% of funding is foreign, resembling Russian legislation used for Kremlin critics.
EU warns passing the bill will harm Georgia's chances to join the bloc, while the president opposes it but may be overruled by the ruling party.
Ministry of interior affairs in Georgia reported arrests, including two US citizens and a Russian, for violating public order and resisting law enforcement.
