State Security Service: Occupation forces illegally restrict free movement along the occupation line, for fictional reasons

Representatives of the occupation forces have illegally restricted free movement along the occupation line, for fictional reasons, - the State Security Service says. According to them, Tskhinvali is closing the only checkpoint at the so-called border.

“The hot line has been activated and the EUMM has been informed about the above. Illegal restrictions significantly damage the security environment on the ground and complicate the daily lives of the locals”, reads the statement of the State Security Service.

According to the so-called South Ossetian de-facto security committee, they will close the only checkpoint at the so-called border with the rest of Georgia during the New Year's Days, - the Res agency reports.

"Traffic will be temporarily suspended at the Kardzmani section of the South Ossetian-Georgian state border from 20:00 on 30 December till 06:00 on 3 January," reads the statement.

According to the agency, two other “border” crossing points were closed as early as September because of the tense situation at the “border”.
