'No to the Russian law'

While 20 percent of Georgia's territory is occupied by Russia, the Georgian parliament tried to legalize a Russian law regarding "Transparency of Foreign Influence”. Tens of thousands of protesters gathered outside the parliament building shortly after the bill received initial parliamentary approval on 7-8 March.

My photos show how Georgians bravely said 'no' to the Russian law.
