Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs estimated the detention of three students by the authority of the self-proclaimed Abkhazian Republic as a violation of the fundamental human rights. These people were detained through violation of the right to free expression, peaceful gathering, and personal integrity as well as through illegal restriction of freedom.
“Georgian diplomatic office is deeply concerned regarding the detention of three peaceful students while they were holding a demonstration against the Abkhazian Separatist government. The demonstration of Georgian and Abkhazian students was dispersed by the Sokhumi authority in the neutral zone,” reads the statement of the Georgian Foreign Affairs Ministry that can b seen on the website of the ministry.
The Ministry calls upon the international society, all human rights international organizations, particularly UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and Human Rights Office of UN Mission to Georgia, to use all their power to make the “Separatist regime release illegally detained three citizens without any conditions offered to the Georgian side.”
