In this multi-episode series, we take a look at the use of laws in Europe and Central Asia criminalising funding received by human rights organisations from foreign sources.

In Georgia, Parliament adopted the ‘’Transparency of Foreign Influence’’ bill in May 2024. The Georgian government has already starting listing organisations as foreign agents.

We chat to Nona Kurdovanidze from the Georgian Young Lawyers Association to find out how the re-introduction of this law has been, and will be, impacting human rights defenders and organisations.
