Thousands protest against Georgia election result
Tens of thousands of opposition supporters rallied today across Georgia’s capital Tbilisi to protest against what they denounced as massive vote fraud that helped Mikhail Saakashvili win his second presidential term.
Wearing opposition trademark white scarves and chanting anti-Saakashvili slogans, protesters gathered in central Tbilisi to demand a recount of the January 5 election. Organisers said about 100,000 turned out.
