'Kremlin-like' law passed in Georgia as protests continue | BBC News
Georgian lawmakers have passed a law that will force civil society groups and media organisations to declare foreign funding.
There have been weeks of mass street protests and even scuffles inside parliament.
Critics say the law is modelled on a Russian law and could be used to threaten civil liberties.
The government insists it's necessary for transparency.
On Tuesday, police were dispersing large crowds of protesters outside Georgia's parliament.

Another country in the middle of 2 different agendas … I hope it doesn’t become the next battleground as it is an absolutely stunning country with good people …
Stay strong Georgia!
Fascinating the different ways state media reports on foreign protests. The language here compared to the student protests at colleges and universities is quite telling. Engineering consent with tax money 😂
Much like in Ukraine, the government and power was elected on the promise that they will move the country towards the west yet went back on that promise and moved towards Russia.
The President said she would veto it. Now comes the real test.
I love Georgia and my town. ❤❤
When the government doesnt represent the people, theyve got to go
For weeks these people have been protesting against this they don't give a fuck what there own people want
Kremlin???
What's wrong with finding out who's funding NGOs to nobble the country?
The "No Leader Movement" in Georgia also happened in Hong Kong, Myanmar, and Ukraine. It has nothing to do with "democracy" but everything to do with "global geopolitics". This model can be used across culture and geography aiming at "regime change" for the "alliance" of WWIII
We cannot know the size if Georgian population that is against the bill by simply looking at a few thounsand rioters in Tiblisi. The side that supports the bill isnt rioting, and there are no protests outside Tiblisi
This has Ukrainian maidan coup vibes and possible repercussions from Russia
Why do I see Putins hands all over this.
Police ,Army save Georgia 🇬🇪
"Russian method?" Have this reporter seen French method to disperse a protest?
Kremlin is in Georgia’s parliament
RU bots & trolls are really active in the comments here. Folks, be critical and investigate the user accounts before responding.
The big question is who are these Georgian policemen that let it happen
Isn't the law supposed to limit foreign interference into Georgia's media and politics, which is good Georgia? Seems like a good law to me, I don't understand why people are against it
