Acts of disobedience are exploding in the streets of Georgia. In the capital city of Tbilisi, the gates of the Parliament building have been battered, its windows smashed and burning objects thrown through.

Anti-government protesters hurl fireworks that explode over the heads of the special forces and the lights of laser pointers swarm like insects.
