"Violent Protests Erupt in Georgia Over 'Foreign Agent' Law"

Thousands of Georgians protested in Tbilisi against a proposed "foreign agents" bill, similar to Russian legislation, that would require organizations receiving significant overseas funding to register as "pursuing the interests of a foreign power." The bill has sparked concerns about democratic freedoms and EU accession, with President Zourabichvili vowing to veto it if passed. The EU has criticized the law, and opposition to it has led to clashes and detentions in Georgia.
