Demonstrators block traffic in Tbilisi
Several dozen people who oppose the law on "foreign agents" blocked traffic in Tbilisi on Thursday evening.
This was reported by Echo of the Caucasus.
The protesters gathered on Heroes Square in Tbilisi and blocked traffic there. Some drivers express their support for them.
Earlier, the police tried to push the activists off the roadway. According to media reports, law enforcement officers detained one of the protesters.
The Georgian Interior Ministry says that according to the law "On Assemblies and Manifestations," it is forbidden to artificially block the roadway and create deliberate obstacles to traffic.
Opponents of the law on "foreign agents" are traditionally gathering near the Georgian parliament at this moment.
It is expected that the Georgian parliament will consider the resonant bill in the third reading in about two weeks.
