Thousands protest against Georgia 'foreign influence' bill

Description

Tens of thousands of people protest in the streets of Georgian capital Tbilisi against a "foreign influence" bill likened to Russian laws silencing dissent. Demonstrators partially block car traffic on Heroes' Square, home to a monument honoring Georgian soldiers that died at war. The Black Sea Caucasus nation has been gripped by mass anti-government protests since April 9, after the ruling Georgian Dream party reintroduced the bill that critics see as repressive. IMAGES
