In Tbilisi, Georgia, police used rubber bullets to disperse protesters who attempted to storm a building. The unrest was triggered by the visit of Russian legislator Sergei Gavrilov, who supports the independence of Georgia's separatist regions. This visit was seen as a national humiliation, leading to public outrage. Approximately 70 people were injured in the clashes. Gavrilov's presence and his support for Abkhazia and South Ossetia, regions over which Georgia lost control in a 2008 war with Russia, further fueled the protests.
