Police in Georgia’s capital moved in to break up a tent camp that demonstrators set up on a central thoroughfare to protest against the results of last month’s parliamentary election and demand a new vote.

The October 26 election kept the governing Georgian Dream party in power, but opponents say the vote was rigged.
