Protesters demand Georgia withdraw ‘Russian law’
Protesters in Georgia have taken to the streets to demand the withdrawal of a controversial new law that some have dubbed the ‘Russian law’.
The law, which was passed by the Georgian parliament last week, has sparked outrage among opposition groups and civil society organizations. Critics of the law argue that it restricts freedom of speech and gives the government sweeping powers to crack down on dissent.
Protesters have been gathering in the capital city of Tbilisi for several days now, chanting slogans and waving banners calling for the repeal of the law. Some have even gone so far as to set up tents in the city center, vowing to continue their protest until their demands are met.
The government has so far refused to back down, insisting that the law is necessary to protect national security and combat foreign interference. However, the protests show no signs of abating, with demonstrators promising to escalate their actions if their demands are not met.
