Protesters Gather In Tbilisi Against Proposed Foreign Agent Bill

TBILISI, GEORGIA - APRIL 15: Demonstrators gather in front of the Georgian Parliament to protest the reintroduction of the "Foreign Agent Bill' on April 15, 2024 in Tbilisi, Georgia. The Georgian parliament has revived a draft law after shelving an earlier version in response to mass protests in March, 2023. The law mandates organizations receiving 20 percent or more of their funding from abroad to register as foreign influence agents, facing fines if they don't comply. This affects charities, advocacy groups, and foreign-funded opposition media. Similar to a law in Russia, this proposal has been criticized for stifling media freedom and civil society.
