Days of protests have rocked Georgia following the government’s controversial decision to delay the former Soviet country’s bid to join the European Union.

More than 100 were arrested and dozens injured during protests after Georgia’s ruling party said it would suspend talks to join the European Union.

Massive protests erupted in Georgia over the government’s decision to suspend the country’s bid to join the European Union. Authorities clamped down hard on the demonstrations, prompting condemnation from the US: Police fired tear gas and used water cannons, and more than 40 people were injured on Saturday, officials said.

Protesters rallied in Georgia’s capital for a fourth straight night on Sunday and there were signs that opposition was spreading across the country to the government’s decision to suspend talks on joining the European Union.

The move comes after disputed parliamentary elections, which the President said had been rigged with Moscow’s help.
