The Russian occupying forces illegally detained a Georgian citizen in the area surrounding the occupied village of Zemo Artsevi.
The State Security Service disseminates information about this.
The Agency says that upon receiving information about the incident mentioned, the State Security Service activated the “hotline” operated by the European Union Monitoring Mission.
“Information about another fact of illegal detention was immediately reported to the co-chairs of international discussions in Geneva and international partners. All existing mechanisms have been activated to release the illegally detained Georgian citizen as soon as possible.
“Responsibility for all destructive actions committed on the occupied territories of Georgia, as well as along the line of occupation, rests with the occupying power,” the report said.
