More than 300 people have been arrested and police are accused of using unnecessary force on the streets.

Summary

Over 300 people have been arrested in Georgia since mass protests erupted six nights ago, with allegations of violent attacks by police.

The government has accused opposition politicians of orchestrating the violence, while the force exercised by police has been described as torture and brutality by Georgia’s human rights ombudsman.

The protests continue, with demands for a re-run of contested elections and a re-start of the country’s EU bid.
