Sky News has witnessed numerous instances where non-violent protesters have been snatched by police in Georgia and pummelled. Speaking from a hospital bed, one victim urges the rest of the world to help, before Russia wins.

The shadow of the Kremlin looms darker over Georgia at the end of this week, just as it does over Ukraine. The authoritarian cause has been advanced in this small Caucasian republic in the teeth of fierce opposition on its streets and from Europe and America.

'I'm not a person, I'm a bug who must be squashed.' The unit attacking him seemed ideologically motivated, he says, unlike some of the other conventional police there that day. Garum is recovering at home with his beloved dog, Fry, named after the British actor Stephen. Other victims are still in hospital. David Katsarava is in intensive care. He has broken bones, a displaced jaw and several hematoma swellings.
