Illegally Detained Georgian Citizen Released From Tskhinvali Custody
The State Security Service of Georgia (SSSG) said on June 9 that a Georgian citizen illegally detained by Russian occupation forces in the vicinity of the Sachkhere municipality has been released and is now in Tbilisi-controlled territory.
While the SSSG did not disclose the individual’s identity, in line with its recent practice, the RES news agency of the occupied Tskhinvali region identified the man as 48-year-old Mamuka Bagauri and said that he had been detained on June 6 for “violating state border regulations.”
“In the process of releasing the illegally detained Georgian citizen, both the “hotline” mechanism operating in Georgia with the direct involvement of the European Union Monitoring Mission in Georgia (EUMM), as well as all relevant instruments at the disposal of the central government, were actively used,” the SSSG said.
The agency added that, together with international partners, the Georgian government “continues to work actively to secure the release of all Georgian citizens who remain illegally detained in the occupied territories.”
