Mass protests across Georgia against the government decision to suspend negotiations on joining
00:07
the European Union have entered a second week. Police have cracked down on protesters with
00:13
increasing force using water cannons and tear gas to try to break up the nightly rallies.
00:19
More than 300 protesters have been detained and over 100 people have been treated for
00:24
injuries.

We fight for our freedom and this is a main like a fight for us. If we are not going to
00:30
be the part of the European Union and if we are not going to be free from the Russian

The ruling Georgian dream retained control of parliament in the disputed 26th of October
00:47
election, a vote widely seen as a referendum on Georgia's EU aspirations. The opposition
00:53
accused the governing party of rigging the vote with the help of neighboring Russia to
00:57
keep the Moscow friendly Georgia dream party in power. But the protests against the election
01:03
became angrier and spread beyond Tbilisi after the decision last Thursday to put EU accession
01:08
talks on hold until at least 2028. That was in response to a European Parliament resolution
01:14
that criticized the elections as neither free nor fair. The EU granted Georgia candidate
01:20
country status in 2023. But Brussels put that process on hold earlier this year after
01:26
the passage of a controversial foreign influence law widely seen as a blow to democratic freedoms.
