In the Republic of Georgia, authorities arrested a main opposition leader as mass anti-government protests stretched into their second week. Nika Gvaramia, head of the Coalition for Change, was one of multiple opposition figures to be detained Wednesday amid government raids on homes and offices. The protests were set off after the ruling Georgian Dream party suspended its bid to join the European Union. Meanwhile, Georgia’s pro-EU president has refused to recognize Georgian Dream’s recent victory in parliamentary elections and has called for new elections.
