**Police Crack Down on Protesters in Georgia**
A group called the Center for the Study of Democracy says that police used too much force against protesters in Georgia. They claim that thousands of peaceful people were beaten and arrested, including 33 journalists.
The protesters were demonstrating near a government building when police started using tear gas and water cannon to break them up. The center’s statement said that this was not allowed under Georgian law or international standards. Rubber bullets were also used, which is against the rules.
Many of those who were detained were beaten by the police. Some people are still missing and their whereabouts are unknown.
The Center for the Study of Democracy is calling on the police to stop using force in this way. They want an investigation into the crimes committed by the police officers.
