“European March” against the law on foreign agents will take place in Tbilisi

On May 11, non-governmental and civil organizations in Georgia will organize a large-scale protest against the ruling party’s adoption of the law on foreign agents.

“From all three points we will simultaneously move to Europe Square and unite. Yes - Europe! No to Russian law!” say the organizers.

The ruling Georgian Dream party is bringing the bill to a committee hearing on May 13. It was adopted in the first two readings.

Since April 15, thousands of residents of Tbilisi and other cities of Georgia have been protesting against the law on foreign agents. The protesters recently declared disobedience to the authorities until the bill was withdrawn. Their demands, in particular, include the release of all detainees and the punishment of security forces who used violence against protesters. In some cases, police used water cannons, rubber bullets and tear gas, and beat protesters.

Georgian Ombudsman Levan Ioseliani called on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Special Investigation Service to conduct an effective investigation into each case and take strict legal measures against those responsible. The Public Defender stressed that it is unacceptable to attack people for holding a different opinion.
