A policeman and a protestor have died during the 6th day of protests in the capital Tbilisi.
Both victims were killed by a speeding car.
Nearly 40 people were injured as police cleared the streets with water cannons and rubber bullets.
Protests began Saturday when 10,000 gathered in central Tbilisi.
They charge President Mikheil Saakashvili with failing to reduce poverty and with authoritarian-like behavior.
Some are calling it a "silver revolution"...because many protestors are older, struggling with low pensions and rising food prices.
