Protests in Georgia over 'foreign agent' bill | BBC News

Police in Georgia fired tear gas and water cannon into crowds protesting against a bill seen by the opposition as targeting media freedoms.

Thousands waving Georgian and European Union flags gathered outside parliament to protest what they see as a Russian-inspired law.

Under the bill - dubbed the "foreign agent" law- independent media that receive more than 20% of their funding from foreign donors would have to register as organisations "bearing the interests of a foreign power".
