Tskhinvali occupation forces to detain three Georgian citizens

The occupied Tskhinvali regime detained three Georgian citizens near Ergneti village of Gori municipality, the State Security Service of Georgia (SSG) reported.

The SSG claims that one of the detainees will be released soon. Negotiations are ongoing to free the other two persons. SSG also reported it has activated the hotline and notified co-chairs of the Geneva International Discussions about the detention.

“Illegal arrests of people significantly complicate the security environment and the daily life of the local population along the occupation line. The Russian Federation is fully responsible for the illegal detentions,” it said in a statement.
