Georgian Opposition Demands Repeal of Law on Foreign Agents

Baku / 08.03.23 / Turan: On March 7 in  Tbilisi, the police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse a protest against the "law on foreign agents".

About 10,000 protesters have gathered in front of the parliament and are not dispersing.

The police used tear gas and batons to disperse them.

The protesters were holding the flags of Georgia and the European Union.

The clashes continued until late at night, later the police pushed the protesters away from the parliament building.

On the morning of March 8, police reported that 66 people had been detained in Tbilisi on March 7.

The law on foreign agents aims to deprive democratic NGOs and the media of funding. This is an attempt by the Georgian authorities to use the experience of Russia in the fight against Western influence.

Ivanishvili's pro-Russian government is behind all this, says the Georgian opposition, which does not intend to give up. -02D-
