"There has been widespread international condemnation of the bill, which would require non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and independent media who receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad to declare themselves as foreign agents."

"The opposition described it as a Russian-style law that would stigmatise and clamp down on Georgia's vibrant civil society and independent media."

"Russia passed its own version of a "foreign agents" law in 2012, expanding it over the years to target and suppress Western-funded NGOs and media."
