A minor illegally detained by the Russian occupation forces near the village of Mejvriskhevi and two persons with him - Vladimer Jokhadze and Malkhaz Tielidze - are free and all three of them are in the territory controlled by the central government.

According to SSG, upon receiving the information about the illegal detention, the hotline was immediately activated and all the mechanisms at the disposal of the central government were activated.

"The information was communicated to the co-chairs of the international discussions in Geneva and our international partners. Responsibility for all destructive actions carried out in the occupied regions of Georgia and along the occupation line rests with the occupying power. The central government, together with international partners, continues to work actively to release all persons in illegal detention, both in the occupied Tskhinvali region and in the occupied Abkhazia," SSG says in a statement.
