The Georgian parliament dropped on Friday a bill that brands organizations receiving funding from abroad as "foreign agents" after the ruling party abandoned it following mass protests in the capital.

The controversial bill failed to garner enough votes in its second reading in parliament. On Thursday, responding to protests, the ruling Georgian Dream party announced it was withdrawing support for the bill.

The proposed bill, similar to laws in Russia, would have classified non-governmental organizations and media outlets as "foreign agents" if they received 20% or more of their funding from abroad.
