Georgian riot police have used tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon to disperse several hundred opposition protesters from outside the Parliament building in central Tbilisi.
Several thousand people gathered in the early hours of Thursday to demand the resignation of President Mikheil Saakashvili, the Georgian president, accusing him of authoritarianism. About 300 remained when police moved in.
