'Kremlin-like' law passed in Georgia as protests continue | BBC News

Georgian lawmakers have passed a law that will force civil society groups and media organisations to declare foreign funding.

Critics say the law is modelled on a Russian law and could be used to threaten civil liberties.

The government insists it’s necessary for transparency.

On Tuesday, police were dispersing large crowds of protesters outside Georgia’s parliament.
