The situation has become tense at the City Court, where the trial of Georgia's third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, is set to begin.

Police and activists clashed near the courthouse where supporters of the ex-president were holding a rally.

Despite the ban, several activists climbed the court fence and the roof of the security service booth with roses and flags.

Police forced the protesters to leave. Several of them resisted the police, which was followed by noise and controversy.

The police also used so-called pepper spray in the process.
