Protesters used fireworks against riot police in Tbilisi late on Saturday as they gathered across Georgia for a third straight night of demonstrations against the government’s decision to suspend negotiations to join the European Union.

The government’s decision to suspend its bid for European Union membership has driven thousands of protesters onto the streets.

Protesters gathered outside Georgia's parliament early Monday, setting bins alight and throwing fireworks at police in Tbilisi, as demonstrations against the government entered their fourth night.
