Georgia’s Foreign Agent Law
Kobakhidze refuses to establish working group on foreign agent law
Berset’s statement follows his visit to Georgia in December.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in Tbilisi for a second evening of protests on 8 March against Georgia’s draft foreign agent law.
Protesters attempted to place the parliament under siege, blocking the entrances in order to prevent the ruling Georgian Dream party from voting through the bill.
Police responded with force, deploying pepper spray, tear gas, and water cannons to push protesters back.
