Violent clashes between protesters and police began in Tbilisi at a rally against the law on foreign agents. 

The situation in Georgia continues to heat up due to the scandalous bill on foreign agents. Another rally in Tbilisi escalated into violent clashes between protesters and police. The protest is not only becoming more widespread, but also becoming radicalized.

On the evening of April 30 in Tbilisi on Rustaveli Square near the parliament building, special forces began to violently disperse the protest, which escalated into serious clashes. The Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs announced the use of special means “to restore public order.” Pepper spray, batons and rubber bullets were used against protesters.

This was reported by the Telegram channel Ukraine 365.

People are resisting. At the moment, at least 10 people are known to have been arrested and many injured. The protests come as the pro-Russian Georgian Dream party pushes for a bill on foreign agents.

It is an analogue of the one that was adopted in Russia a couple of years ago, and which allowed the Kremlin to purge the remnants of independent media, disloyal organizations and people in the country.

The bill was approved by the Georgian parliament in mid-April, which led to unrest in Georgia. The country's President Salome Zurabishvili has already sharply condemned the Georgian Dream party, which provoked the protests. She promised to veto the controversial bill.
