Violent protests in Georgia over proposed ‘Russian-style’ bill

Top International News

Protesters have taken to the streets of the Georgian capital Tbilisi to voice their anger over a controversial new draft law. The legislation, dubbed the ‘foreign agent’ bill, received initial backing from parliament earlier this week. Opponents say that if passed, the bill would limit free speech and mark a shift toward authoritarianism. On Tuesday, police detained dozens of people protesting against the legislation.
