Clashes over Georgia’s ‘foreign agents’ bill

Last night, police in Tbilisi fired teargas and stun guns at demonstrators who were protesting against an authoritarian bill on ‘foreign agents’. The bill, condemned by critics as Russian-inspired, would require organisations that receive more than 20 per cent of their funding from abroad to register as foreign agents. It has deepened divisions in the polarised country, setting the ruling Georgian Dream party against a movement backed by the president, much of civil society, opposition groups and many celebrities.
