Georgian 'Agent Law' Sparks International Concern and Calls for Reversal
The controversial 'Agent Law' in Georgia, aimed at controlling media and NGOs, has triggered condemnation from the US, the EU, and the opposition within the country. Critics fear the stigmatization of pro-Western forces and a threat to Georgia's EU membership aspirations.
The law, labeling civil society organizations and media as foreign agents, has led to protests, with parallels drawn to repressive Russian legislation. Concerns over the erosion of human rights standards and the independence of public service media have also been raised within the Council of Europe regarding similar laws in Slovakia.
