The new law would force Civil Society groups and Media Organisations to declare foreign funding. Opponents fear it will be used to silence dissent. The bill now faces a likely veto by georgias president , but parliament can override that by holding another vote, forcing the law through. This really is an issue that has divided georgia. Lets go live to our correspondent Rayhan Demytrie, who is in tbilisi. I know it is very noisy there, there have been dramatic scenes outside the parliament and inside, scuffles, as i say, but the final upshot is this law has just been passed in the parliament .

For weeks they have been coming out to protest, and here you see banks of the Security Forces in different stages in the last hour also, they have been trying to disperse the crowds. And now we see that this bill has become law, there is the prospect of the president overruling that but that in itself will eventually be overruled itself.

Obviously organised and the van which was an armoured van was ferrying this prisoner who had just been for a judicial hearing and it was attacked at the toll booth because that is where everything slows down. And it was filmed by people in a bus that was in a different pay at the toll booth who suddenly found themselves outside their windows with a war. The criminal is aged 30, his nickname is the fly. Very obviously this was organised. He had tried to escape two days ago and had been caught. Somebody had given him something to so open the bars on his window.
