EUMM Condemns Shooting of Georgian Policeman at Knolevi

January 16, 2009

The European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM) has condemned the shooting today of a Georgian policeman carrying out his duties close to the local police station in the village of Knolevi, near the South Ossetian administrative boundary line.

The Deputy Head of the EUMM, General Gilles Janvier, has commented;

“We are very concerned to learn of this incident. We send our condolences to the family and friends of the policeman who has been killed.

This attack, whilst a policeman was going about his lawful duties, is a totally unacceptable breach of the Sarkozy–Medvedev Agreements under which all sides agreed to end hostilities. We expect this incident to be thoroughly investigated on both sides of the South Ossetian Administrative Boundary line and those responsible duly prosecuted.”
