Members of “Sukhishvilebi” Georgian National Ballet Ensemble released a video where they are asking their colleagues all over the world in the distribution of their address in demand of the release of Georgian Doctor Vazha Gaprindashvili detained by the occupational regime.

“This is the situation that requires international attention and engagement to support Georgia’s state sovereignty and territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders. The Georgian national ballet wants to express protest over the detention of Doctor Vazha Gaprindashvili by Russian occupational forces,” “Sukhishvilebi” members say in the video.

Tbilisi-based doctor Vazha Gaprindashvili was illegally detained by Russian occupation forces near the occupation line with Akhalgori Municipality on November 9. He was sent to two-month pretrial detention on November 15.

Vazha Gaprindashvili was 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) to Georgia.
