Thousands of protesters returned to the streets of Tbilisi overnight to protest against the government’s decision to suspend accession talks with the European Union.
Demonstrators on Friday were seen shouting “traitors” and holding photographs of journalists who they say were beaten by police in the previous night’s protests.
For the second night running, police deployed tear gas and made heavy use of water cannon against the demonstrators.
President Salome Zourabishvili said “the resistance movement [had] begun” and that she stood “in solidarity with it.”
“We will remain united until Georgia achieves its goals, to return to its European path, secure new elections.” she said in a televised address.
