The Russian occupying forces unlawfully detained a Georgian citizen on the territory of the occupied Gali region, the State Security Service of Georgia (SSG) reported.

According to SSG, the unlawfully arrested Georgian was on his way back to Zugdidi from the occupied Gali region when he was apprehended. According to the information provided by the hotline, the unlawful prisoner was carrying a package of narcotic substances.

The SSG activated a hotline and notified the European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM) about the fact and informed the co-chairs of the Geneva International Discussions (GID).
