schema:articleBody	Fresh protests were held Monday in Tbilisi as thousands of people took to the streets a day after police cracked down on demonstrations against Georgia's recent general elections. Protests erupted in Tbilisi and the Black Sea city of Batumi following an October 31 parliamentary poll won by the ruling Georgian Dream party with a two-percent margin, but which the opposition has denounced as rigged. Some 8,000 protesters gathered outside Georgian parliament in response to a call by opposition parties that refuse to enter the new parliament, raising fears of another political crisis in the restless Caucasus nation. Police detained at least three demonstrators, protest organiser Giorgi Pataraia told AFP. The ruling party, which is led by billionaire ex-prime minister Bidzina Ivanishvili, flatly denies accusations of electoral fraud. In an unprecedented show of unity before the vote, the main opposition party, exiled former president Mikheil Saakashvili's United National Movement (UNM), agreed with smaller opposition groups to form a coalition government if elected. Demonstrators have since vowed permanent protests until new elections are called -- a demand that Georgia Dream has rejected. "Our ranks will not waver, our protests will continue until we achieve the holding of free and fair elections in Georgia," Nika Melia, an UNM leader, told the crowd before announcing another protest at the end of the week. On Sunday, 45,000 protesters rallied outside parliament before marching several kilometres (miles) across the city towards the central election commission headquarters, threatening to blockade the building's entrances. Riot police intervened late at night, firing water cannon without warning and injuring several people, television footage showed. In a statement on Monday, Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia claimed protesters had stormed the election commission building, and said the police crackdown was "legitimate." im/wai/cdw
