Up to 10,000 protesters gathered outside the parliament on Wednesday evening before marching on the prime minister's office. At least 13 people have been detained over the past two days and one police officer was injured in altercations, the interior ministry said.
In their jointly published statement, the opposition parties hailed the protesters' "fighting spirit" and slammed the ruling Georgian Dream party for supporting the bill.
