Local media in Georgia reported that police carried out raids targeting the offices of several opposition groups and non-governmental organizations.

Thousands of Georgians have taken to the streets for the sixth consecutive night after the ruling Georgian Dream party’s move to suspend the nation’s bid to join the European Union reignited opposition to the government.

Georgian police have raided the offices of an opposition party and arrested its leader in an apparent attempt to squelch a wave of mass protests over the decision to suspend negotiations on joining the European Union.
