Georgian lawmakers brawled on March 6 while discussing a controversial "foreign agent" law that critics say will impact freedoms in the South Caucasus nation.
Security at the parliament building was beefed up as protesters rallied in front of it, demanding consideration of the law be dropped.
The bill, backed by the ruling Georgian Dream party, would require organizations receiving more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as "foreign agents."
Critics say the bill is a replica of a Russian law that has restricted the work of independent journalists and democratic institutions there.
