Thousands of people have converged on Georgia’s parliament again to protest against the ruling Georgian Dream party’s decision to suspend talks on joining the European Union.

Demonstrators gathered outside the parliament building in the capital, Tbilisi, for a sixth consecutive night on Tuesday as police fired tear gas to disperse the crowds and protesters tossed fireworks at police.
