SSG: With joint efforts, everything is being done to return illegally detained Kristine Takalandze to her family

With joint efforts, everything is being done to return illegally detained Kristine Takalandze to her family, reads the statement of the State Security Service, responding to the illegal sentencing (10 years and 6 months) to the illegally detained Georgian citizen Kristine Takalandze by the so-called court of occupied Abkhazia.

As it is noted in the statement, the said illegal decision was preceded by the illegal arrest of Takalandze based on fabricated and absurd charges, which was followed by many months of illegal imprisonment.

"Regarding the violent and illegal actions carried out by the occupation regime against Kristine Takalandze, the international community has repeatedly expressed a consolidated position and condemned the criminal practice that is deliberately established in the occupied territories of Georgia.

From the very first day of Kristine Takalandze's illegal imprisonment, the central government has been using all available mechanisms. Also, the mentioned issue is an important component of the agenda of our international partners.

With joint efforts, everything is being done to return illegally detained Kristine Takalandze to her family.

Responsibility for all destructive actions carried out in the occupied regions of Georgia and along the occupation line rests with the occupying power," the statement reads.
