Georgian police have arrested 48 people following Friday's demonstrations against the country's government.

The demonstrators protested against the postponement of negotiations for future EU membership.

For the ninth day in a row, pro-European Georgians demonstrated against the government in the capital Tbilisi on Friday. The police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd outside the parliament. The demonstrators responded by firing fireworks. The country's ombudsman describes the protests as peaceful.

The EU countries Germany, Poland, and France have condemned the Georgian regime's use of violence.
