Georgia: Anti-government protesters attempt to storm presidential palace

Anti-government protesters in Georgia have attempted to storm the presidential palace in the capital, Tbilisi.

Police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse them.

Protests began after some government opposition figures called for a “peaceful revolution” against the government led by the Georgian Dream party who are accused of being pro-Russian and authoritarian.

The country’s pro-Western opposition has been staging protests since last year, when Georgian Dream won an election that its critics say was fraudulent.

Georgian Dream then froze Georgia’s European Union accession talks, abruptly halting a long-standing national goal.
