TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — Huge throngs of protesters blocked streets in the capital of Georgia and milled angrily outside the parliament building after lawmakers on Tuesday approved a “foreign influence”
Georgia s parliament has approved a "foreign influence" bill, which critics argue is a Russian-style threat to free speech and the country s aspirations to join the European Union. The bill requires media and nongovernmental organizations to register as "pursuing the interests of a foreign power" if they receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad. The opposition has denounced the bill as "the Russian law" because Moscow uses similar legislation to crack down on independent news media, nonprofits, and activists critical of the Kremlin.
