Police use water cannon as Georgia EU protests erupt for second night


Thousands of protesters returned to the streets of Tbilisi on Friday 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 the previous night's protests.

For the second night running, police deployed tear gas and made heavy use of water cannon against the demonstrators.
