UN rights chief decries 'disproportionate force' against Georgia protesters

The UN rights chief voiced deep concern Monday at the violence surrounding demonstrations in Georgia's capital Tbilisi, lamenting that police had used "disproportionate" force to disperse the protesters and journalists.

"The use of unnecessary or disproportionate force against protesters and media workers is extremely worrying," Volker Turk said in a statement.
