"Fight" over a draft law/ Deputies in the Georgian parliament are punched

Georgian lawmakers have clashed after a debate over a "foreign agents" bill that critics say is modeled after legislation in Russia.

Video inside the parliament building in the capital Tbilisi shows a violent scuffle between lawmakers after the chairman of the affairs committee appeared to punch the leader of the opposition United National Movement party, which opposes the bill.

The ruling "Georgian Dream" bloc announced last month that it supported the legislation, which still needs to go through other stages of approval before becoming law.

The law would require organizations that receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as "foreign agents" and undergo monitoring by the Ministry of Justice, or face hefty fines.

Critics have compared it to a 2012 Russian law that has been steadily expanded since then and used to crack down on Russian civil society and independent media./ CNA.al
