Violent Attacks Leave Opponents Of Georgian 'Foreign Agent' Bill Bloodied, Bruised, And Defiant

Several Georgian opposition figures were severely beaten on May 8 amid a government crackdown on mass demonstrations over a controversial bill affecting organizations that receive international funding. Surveillance footage appears to show five men attacking a member of a Georgian opposition party outside his home in Tbilisi. Despite the assault, the man said Georgian demonstrators would "win" their fight against the so-called "foreign agent" bill.
