‘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.
