Protests in Georgia

In Georgia, thousands of people have been protesting against the law on “foreign agents” for more than two weeks.

On the night of May 1, the country's police used pepper spray, tear gas, water cannons against demonstrators, and violence was also used against the detainees.

It was reported that 63 protesters were detained.

On May 1, the Georgian parliament adopted the so-called bill on “foreign agents” in the second reading.

The head of the Georgian government, Irakli Kobakhidze, said that the vote on the bill in the third, final reading will take place “in two weeks.” President Zurabishvili assured that she would veto the document, but the party in power, the Georgian Dream, has enough votes to overcome it.
