The Georgian parliament canceled its meeting after the protests broke out

Georgia's parliament canceled its plenary session after mass protests broke out against the "foreign agents" bill. Critics believe that this legislation will stifle media freedom and jeopardize Georgia's bid for EU membership, AFP reported.

The parliament announced that the cancellation was related to the damage caused to the building during the May 1 protests, in which the police used water cannon, tear gas and pepper spray against tens of thousands of demonstrators./BGNES
