Michael Siebert, the Director for Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany published a statement on Twitter where he calls on the de facto authorities to release Dr. Vazha Gaprindashvili.

Tbilisi-based doctor Vazha Gaprindashvili, who was illegally detained by Russian occupation forces near the occupation line with Akhalgori Municipality, has been sent to two-month pretrial detention.

The decision was made by the Occupation Regime on November 15. Vazha Gaprindashvili was reportedly charged with ‘illegally crossing the border’ under article 322 of the criminal code of Russia.

Tbilisi activated the hotline mechanism of EU Monitoring Mission (EUMM).
