Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Georgia’s capital over the weekend to protest a deeply contentious draft law to crack down on “foreign agents” — seen by critics and rights groups as a threat to democracy in the South Caucasus nation.
Crowds marched in Tbilisi on Saturday, in the rain, to demand that the bill not be adopted. It is expected to be approved by Georgia’s Parliament in a vote on Friday.
