Demonstrators in the Georgian capital Tbilisi clashed with police for a fourth night of protests sparked by the ruling pro-Russia Georgia Dream Party's decision to suspend the country's bid to join the European Union.

Unrest continued for fourth straight night in Tbilisi following the Georgia government's decision to suspend talks about joining the European Union.
