The police completed the dispersal of the protest action on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi by the morning of November 30.

Law enforcement officers pushed the demonstrators to the Rustaveli metro station, taking them into a cordon. There were mass detentions.

It was the second night of protests after the government announced the freezing of EU accession negotiations.

The media reported "a lot of victims" from among the protesters.

Utilities are working on Rustaveli. They are dismantling the remains of the barricades that the demonstrators built from benches, garbage cans, rental scooters and other items. From there, they periodically fired New Year's fireworks in the direction of the police. In response, tear gas capsules flew from the cordon.

The Georgian Interior Ministry confirmed the detention of 107 people during the crackdown. As a result of the violent actions of the protesters, 10 employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were injured. One of the security forces remains in the hospital with burns of varying degrees.

In just two days in About 150 protesters were detained in Tbilisi, and another 10 people were detained in Batumi.

Meanwhile, following some of the employees of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who quit due to disagreement with the government's decision to suspend EU accession negotiations until 2028, journalists of the Rustavi-2 TV company also quit.

"The fortress is collapsing from the inside. Now it's the turn of the Public Broadcaster," Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili wrote on social networks about this.
