Thousands protest in Georgia after opposition leader arrested

Georgian opposition supporters take part in a rally following the arrest of the leader of the United National Movement (UNM) in Tbilisi on February 23, 2021. Georgian police arrested Nika Melia, the UNM's leader, and used tear gas in a violent raid on his party headquarters, further deepening a political crisis sparked by last year's disputed parliamentary elections.
