Tbilisi. The ruling Georgian Dream party has passed the first version of the draft foreign agent law in its first reading in parliament. Tens of thousands of people gathered outside to protest what has been widely condemned as a Russian-style law that threatens Georgia’s democracy. Riot police were immediately deployed as the bill was passed, deploying water cannons and pepper spray to clear the sides of the parliament. Numerous arrests were made.
HRHT supports the protesting activists and ensures payment of fines to those arrested.
The small budget mobilized by the organization will be used until it runs out. Therefore, we are starting to collect donations here.
