Georgian PM Refutes U.S. Criticism Of 'Foreign Agents' Law

Demonstrators hold a rally to protest against a bill on "foreign agents", in Tbilisi

The Prime Minister has dismissed the U.S. criticism as false, asserting that the proposed legislation is necessary for national security and transparency.
