Tens of thousands of people have returned to the streets of the Georgian capital, to protest against a controversial 'foreign agents' law.

Demonstrators blocked streets in Tblisi, a day after parliament approved a second reading of the bill. It requires organizations receiving more than 20% of funding from abroad to register as agents of foreign influence. Opponents say it's similar to a law used in Russia to silence government critics. The UN's human rights chief has urged Georgian lawmakers to withdraw the legislation.

DW correspondent Maria Katamadze in Tbilisi described the scene in the Georgian capital.
