Thousands protested in Georgia against a bill on foreign agents, criticizing it as Russian-inspired, akin to Kremlin's laws, requiring foreign-funded orgs to register or face fines.
Demonstrators gathered outside parliament in Tbilisi demanding the bill's withdrawal, with some referring to it as the 'Russian law' used for dissent suppression by the Kremlin.
Parliament's legal committee, controlled by Georgian Dream party, endorsed the bill, leading to clashes and a physical altercation between politicians supporting and opposing the legislation.
