Thousands of Georgians are protesting a proposed law that would require NGOs and media receiving foreign funding to register as "foreign agents." The law is seen as an attempt to stifle civil society and free expression, mirroring Russia's crackdown on dissent. Clashes have erupted between protesters and police, as Georgians fear the law could undermine democracy and bring Russian influence.
