Protesters build barricades during a rally to protest the so-called “Foreign Agents Law” which the Georgian Parliament is going to adopt in the future, in front of the Parliament building in Tbilisi, Georgia, 08 March 2023. The law says that a Georgian legal entity, which is more than 20 percent funded from abroad, must be considered as an agent of foreign influence and has to register with the Georgian Ministry of Justice. Special Forces and police began to disperse several hundred oppositionists who were trying to break the gates of the Georgian parliament building. Earlier, the leader of the opposition Strategy Agmashenebeli party, Giorgi Vashadze, issued an ultimatum to the authorities to withdraw the law on foreign agents from parliament and release all protesters detained the day before.
