Protests broke out on June 20 when Russian MP Sergei Gavrilov occupied the Georgian parliamentary speaker’s seat.
A total of 305 individuals were detained during last night’s clashes between police and protestors.
Police used tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon as the protestors disobeyed them and violated public order, the Georgian Interior Ministry said.
