Police in the Georgian capital have again moved to disperse thousands of demonstrators after over 200 people were detained during four previous nights of protests against the government’s decision to suspend negotiations to join the European Union.

More than 200 people have been detained after four nights of protests in the Georgian capital following the government’s decision to suspend negotiations to join the European Union after the block lambasted the country's parliamentary election.

The demonstrators are backed by Georgia's pro-EU president Salome Zurabishvili, who has vowed to stay in office until fresh elections, despite her term being officially set to end.
