There are manu thousands on Rustaveli right now, majority outside the Kashveti church celebrating Orthodox Easter, people are sharing easter cakes and eggs with each other, lighting candles, while many wear Georgian and EU flag as well as gas masks and goggles.

Midnight in Georgia. Protesters are celebrating Orthodox Easter in Kashveti Church on Rustaveli, which is blocked.

(I'm back :D)

Not a surprise but still hard to see Georgia's regress in the index.
‘RSF calls the Georgian authorities to pull themself together and to withdraw the bill which could have dramatic consequences for journalists and the press freedom environment’.

It is almost midnight in Georgia and protest is massive.
Tabula has a recent drone video from Rustaveli, you can see it here: facebook.com/watch?v=240188…
Also there is a big protest in Batumi right now: facebook.com/rtsulukidze/po…
Riot police continues uses force at side entrances.

Riot police divisions are inside the courtyard of the parliament deploying water cannon and tear gas from there right now. This is Chitadze street. Tens of thousands are still on Rustaveli in the front side of parliament.

This is Rustaveli right now, thanks on.ge for the drone pic. Tens of thousands are again out there. Using police force against this amount of people would be tough. Police left all parliament entrances (for now at least).

Once again all 83 GD MPs voted for the foreign agents' bill without hesitation, without considering what people want, the protests, the reactions from Georgians or Georgia's partners outside.
Now third reading is left, which will be in about 2 weeks. It will get even more tense.

Some scenes of the dispersal from OC Media's Shota Kincha from tonight.

For hours now, riot police is trying to disperse the protest against the foreign agents' draft law, using excessive force, but protesters are not giving up. Resistance seems even stronger than last year.

The situation is calm now, a lot of people left, some are still left on Chichinadze Street. Riot police is still here. There were some arrests, numbers unknown for now.

MIA added more police force on Chichinadze side too.

This is Chichinadze side now.
