Tbilisi: Tensions flare outside parliament in protests sparked by election results

Tensions have risen between protesters and law enforcement officers outside the parliament in Tbilisi, with protesters trying to pitch tents on the rally site and LEOs preventing them from doing so.   

Reports say that two activists have been detained following the confrontation. One of them proves to be U.S. citizen Paata Abzhandadze. 

Rally participants are protesting against election results and ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili's arrest.

Mikheil Saakashvili, who was arrested on Oct 1, has been on a hunger strike for 32 days now.
