Protesters stormed the parliament of the Russian-backed breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia on Friday and demanded the resignation of its leader over an unpopular investment agreement with Moscow.

Protests that blocked bridges to the capital of the Russia-backed Georgian separatist region of Abkhazia have ended Tuesday after authorities freed five opposition supporters who were jailed the night before.

Protesters in the main city of occupied Abkhazia, Sukhumi, broke through the fence around the complex of "government buildings" and partially seized them on the afternoon of 15 November, protesting against the approval of an "investment agreement" with Russia.

Protesters in Georgia's Russia-backed breakaway region of Abkhazia declined on Saturday to leave the parliament building which they stormed the previous day, a departure proposed by the region's president as a condition for resigning.

Opposition protesters in Georgia's breakaway province of Abkhazia have refused to leave key government buildings unless the regional president resigns.
