Several thousand protesters rallied in the Georgian capital Saturday for a third day of demonstrations against President Mikheil Saakashvili, but the opposition-led movement appeared to be dwindling. At least 4,000 people protested outside Georgias parliament in the afternoon, according to estimates by an AFP reporter, before two groups of several hundred broke off to march on the offices of the president and state broadcaster, blocking city streets.
The number of protesters had fallen significantly from some 60,000 who rallied on Thursday and 25,000 on Friday - the biggest demonstrations against Saakashvilis rule since a war with Russia last August.
