Police Violently Disperse Tbilisi Protests Over Disputed Elections

Protesters in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, told RFE/RL they were "strong" and remained determined after police violently dispersed a sit-in demonstration near Tbilisi State University on November 19. Using pepper spray, police dismantled tents and detained more than 10 people. The protesters claim the October 26 parliamentary elections won by the ruling Georgian Dream Party were rigged.
