Police in Georgia fired teargas and rubber bullets at protesters demonstrating against a bill that would require organisations – including media and NGOs – that receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as agents "pursuing the interests of a foreign power". The bill has been dubbed the "Russian law" by its detractors based on its similarity to legislation in place in Russia. "We will never be OK with this law," one demonstrator told FRANCE 24’s Taline Oundjian. "I’m also afraid we will be isolated from the world outside, and especially from Europe."
