The Russian occupation forces on Wednesday illegally detained a Georgian citizen in the occupied territory near the village of Akhalubani, Gori municipality.

According to the State Security Service of Georgia (SSSG), the hotline operated by the EU Monitoring Mission had been activated and International partners and the co-chairs of the Geneva International Discussions were immediately informed of the incident.

The body underscored that “the responsibility for all destructive acts committed in the occupied territories of Georgia and along the occupation line lies with the occupying power.”

“All existing mechanisms have been activated to release the illegally detained Georgian citizen as quickly as feasible,” the SSSG added.
