Georgia on Saturday said 107 people were arrested during a second day of protests sparked by the government's decision to delay European Union membership talks amid a post-election crisis. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze's statement Thursday that Georgia will not seek to open accession talks with the European Union until 2028 ignited a furious reaction from the opposition and two days of protests.

Georgia has been rocked by protests after its increasingly autocratic government said it would halt the former Soviet country’s bid to join the European Union.

Thousands of protesters have returned to the streets of Tbilisi to protest against the government's decision to suspend accession talks with the European Union. Demonstrators were seen shouting "traitors" and holding photographs of journalists who they say were beaten by police in Thursday nights protests.
