Police violence amid pro-EU protests sparks outrage in Georgia
Irakli Pipia is one of many protesters who say they have been beaten in Georgia's massive pro-EU demonstrations, in a political crisis that shows no sign of abating.
Police have arrested more than 400 people, with most reporting physical abuse, according to the Social Justice Centre NGO, which provides legal counselling to those affected.
Tens of thousands have rallied for over a week in Tbilisi, infuriated by the government's decision to shelve EU accession talks and accusing it of steering Georgia towards the Kremlin.
