The Russian occupation forces illegally detained Georgian citizen near the village of Takhtisdziri, Kareli municipality (near Tskhinvali occupation line), the Georgian State Security Service (SSSG) reported on February 28.

Upon receiving information about the incident, the State Security Service activated the “hot line” operated by the EU Monitoring Mission. International partners and the co-chairs of the Geneva International Discussions were immediately informed of the incident, SSSG said.
