WARSAW (Reuters) - The Polish parliament passed a watered down version of a law on undue Russian influence on Friday, backpedaling on a bill the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party approved last month.

The bill passed by a 235-5 margin, with nine abstentions as opposition did not take part in the vote.
