Tbilisi, Georgia saw tens of thousands of people participating in the 11th consecutive day of protests on Sunday. The demonstrations were sparked after the ruling party halted negotiations on Georgia's potential accession to the European Union. The protests have been primarily concentrated around the parliament building in the capital city.

Demonstrators have been met with physical violence, with reports of riot police beating protesters who have been setting off fireworks and constructing barricades along Tbilisi's central boulevard.
