LGBT rights activists cancelled Georgia’s Pride march on Monday after violence by mobs opposed to the parade led to widespread attacks on journalists, activists and innocent passers-by.

Protesters broke into the headquarters of Tbilisi Pride – the LGBT group organising the march – by scaling the outside walls, ripped up rainbow flags and ransacked the rooms, smashing computers, furniture and crockery.
