Occupation forces of occupied Abkhazia illegally arrest citizen of Georgia

Representatives of the occupation regime of occupied Abkhazia have illegally arrested A.T., a citizen of Georgia and resident of Gali.

According to the State Security Service, the illegally detained is accused of buying and keeping drugs.

"According to the information shared via hotline, the illegal detention took place in the occupied territory, where A.T. lives permanently. The State Security Service immediately activated a hotline and the information about the illegal detention of A.T. has been reported to the EU Monitoring Mission and the co-chairs of the international discussions in Geneva.

All existing mechanisms have been activated and work is underway to release the citizen of Georgia from illegal imprisonment.

The extremely destructive practice of illegal detention by the occupying force complicates the daily life of the local population and significantly damages the security environment. All arrests carried out by the occupying force are illegal, and the occupying force bears full responsibility for this," reads the information.
