LIVE: Protest in Tbilisi, Georgia, against ‘Russia-style’ media law

Watch live from Tbilisi in Georgia as lawmakers hold the third and final reading of a controversial bill that critics see as a threat to media freedom. The bill would require media, nongovernmental organizations and other nonprofits to register as “pursuing the interests of a foreign power” if they receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad. The opposition denounces the bill as “the Russian law,” because Moscow uses similar legislation to crack down on independent news media, nonprofits and activists critical of the Kremlin.
