Protests against a proposed law have rocked Georgia for almost a month. The bill making its way through parliament would force organisations to register as 'foreign agents' if they get more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad. Critics say it's inspired by Russian law and could block the country's chances of joining the EU. Supporters say similar legislation exists elsewhere in Europe.
