Protests against Georgia’s “Transparency of Foreign Influence” bill intensified as demonstrators clashed with police outside the parliament in Tbilisi. The bill, criticized for curbing free speech and NGO activities, faced strong opposition since April 15. Protesters attempted to enter the parliament, prompting police to use tear gas, stun grenades, and water cannons. The bill passed the second reading in parliament, triggering further unrest and injuries among protesters. President Zurabishvili plans to veto the bill if it progresses after three readings.
