Scuffles broke out in the Georgian parliament on Thursday, while protesters gathered outside as lawmakers debated a new controversial law regarding funding of media outlets.
The law initiated by a "People's Power" faction requires media outlets and nongovernmental organisations that receive more than 20 percent of their funding from foreign sources to register as "agents of foreign influence."
International organisations have voiced concern over the draft law saying it is against Georgia's democratic development.

Inside the Parliament, the start of the discussion was postponed for several hours when a fight broke out among lawmakers.
