The story  

Georgia’s parliament has passed a new so-called 'foreign agent' law.

It would mean media and nongovernmental organisations which receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad, will have to be registered and monitored.

Comparisons have been made with Russian laws which the Kremlin has used to control its critics.

Protesters worry civil rights and Georgia’s chances of joining the European Union will be threatened.
