Description
Georgian activists have faced weeks of violence and threats since the introduction of draft legislation last month that targets NGOs and would force those receiving at least 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as an agent of "foreign influence". Baia Pataraia's women's rights group Sapari is one of those at risk, but she - like many - is defiant. "I will never register" she says, adding that the government's attitude is not new. "For two years now...the non-governmental sector has had to work in a difficult situation." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
