Description
"I don't want my Georgia to become Russia" says Ledi, a 19-year-old student protesting on the streets of Tbilisi, alongside thousands of other young people, against the controversial "foreign influence" law adopted by the parliament. The younger generation of Georgians grew up in a country that leant towards Europe and few favour a change in direction. "If this government wins, we will leave Georgia" Ledi explains. The law is seen by many as a threat to Georgia's longstanding EU ambitions, with the bloc itself warning that the move goes against the Caucuses nation's desire to join. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
