Tens of thousands of Georgians marched through the capital, Tbilisi, on May 11 in the latest display of opposition to legislation that would affect the work of foreign-backed NGOs. Protesters have been in the streets for weeks over the bill, which they say would threaten media and civil society groups. Earlier demonstrations were met with a violent police crackdown, but the May 11 protest appeared to proceed peacefully.
