“Some of the detainees were brought to trial, while the rest were released due to the expiration of their stay in the pre-trial detention center,” the Georgian Interior Ministry said in a statement.

More than 130 people have been detained in Tbilisi over two days of protests.

The rallies began in Tbilisi a day earlier against the background of the adoption by the country's parliament in the first reading of the law on foreign agents, which proposes to create a register of non-governmental organizations, media and entities that receive money from a foreign state.

Opposition representatives said they intend to continue rallies in Tbilisi, despite the ruling party's statement about the withdrawal of the bill.
