Protesters in Tbilisi have witnessed violent confrontations with police as they rallied against what they claim were fraudulent elections; some demonstrators and journalists faced beatings and detentions.
President Zourabichvili has strongly opposed the election outcome, suggesting that Russian influence has undermined Georgia's aspirations to integrate into the European Union.
Nika Gvaramia, leader of the opposition Akhali party, reported that numerous activists from his party were injured and detained during clashes with police at the protest site.
The Interior Ministry justified police actions by stating that the right to assemble does not permit protesters to disrupt public order or daily activities of citizens.
