Protesters stood defiantly, refusing to move away. And then violence. All in the name of a contentious law, which protesters fear will mark the end of georgias democracy. You get a sense, now, they are moving more intensely, and the protesters are beginning to boo. Theyre being pushed away from the square. We will be in the eu.
