Demonstrators marched in the streets of Georgia's capital, Tbilisi, for a 17th-straight day on July 6. The protests started after Russian Duma Deputy Sergei Gavrilov took the Georgian parliamentary speaker's seat during a June 20 meeting of lawmakers from Orthodox countries. Protesters are demanding the resignation of Interior Minister Giorgi Gakharia over the use of force by police against the initial protest on June 20.
