Georgia: Brutal crackdown, arrests fail to deter protesters | World at War | WION

The Southern Caucasus nation of Georgia has been rocked by anti-government protests since 9th of April. The protests erupted after the ruling Georgian Dream party announced plans to reintroduce a legislation, which critics say mirrors the authoritarian law Kremlin uses to crush dissent. The Georgian government has rejected the comparison to the Russian legislation, insisting that the law would boost financial transparency of NGOs funded by western institutions. Crucially, on Mayday, the Georgian parliament voted to approve the second reading of the controversial bill. A third and final vote in the parliament, expected on 17th of May, is now needed for the bill to become law. Mohammed Saleh brings you the details.
