Georgia's ruling party has said it will pull a controversial draft law, in the face of mass protests and widespread international criticism.
For days, thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of its capital, Tbilisi, in anger as a Russian-style law began its passage through parliament.
Under the bill, non-government groups and media would have been targeted if they took over 20% of funding from abroad.
The main ruling party said it was pulling the bill "unconditionally" after clashes between police and protesters.
