Georgia is being roiled by some of the largest and angriest protests in its modern history after its parliament passed a law that will force NGOs receiving substantial support from abroad to register as "foreign-funded organisations".
Protesters took to the streets in Tblisi after Georgia’s Parliament approved ‘foreign agents’ law.
The "foreign agents" bill calls for media outlets, nonprofits and other nongovernmental organizations in the country to register as "pursuing the interests of a foreign power" if they receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad.
Protests have sprung up against it, and scuffles have even broken out inside parliament between opposition lawmakers and members of the ruling Georgian Dream party.
