SSG: Illegally jailed Alan Japaridze released from prison

Russia-occupied Tskhinvali region has released illegally detained Alan Japaridze, State Security Service of Georgia (SSG) declared on Friday.

Japaridze was detained for “illegal crossing of the state border.” The occupation regime reported the information earlier in April via “hotline”.

SSG said that in the best interest of the detainee, information about his illegal detention was reported after his release.

European Union Monitoring Mission in Georgia was informed of the fact and the issue was discussed during the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism (IPRM) meeting in Ergneti, SSG added.
