Georgia's interior ministry reported that 107 individuals were arrested during protests in Tbilisi following the government's decision to delay the country's bid to join the European Union. The ruling Georgian Dream party announced the suspension of EU accession talks until 2028, sparking demonstrations since Thursday.
Protesters clashed with police, throwing objects and chanting slogans. The protests escalated with police using water cannons and tear gas, leading to injuries on both sides. President Salome Zourabichvili criticized the police for targeting journalists and political leaders, calling for accountability.
