**Georgian Brothers Released from Russian Detention**
In a significant development, two Georgian brothers, Tariel and Leonide Tenadze, have been released from illegal detention by Russian occupation forces. The brothers were detained near the village of Plavismani in Gori Municipality, an area close to the occupied territory.
**Background on the Detention**
As reported earlier by the State Security Service of Georgia (SSSG), three Georgian citizens, including Tariel and Leonide, were illegally detained on March 11. One of them was released shortly after, leaving the brothers in detention until their release on June 6.
**Release Process**
The SSSG stated that the release process involved the use of the operational hotline mechanism of the European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM) and “all other relevant instruments at the disposal of the central government.” This indicates a coordinated effort between the Georgian authorities and international organizations to secure the brothers’ release.
**Ongoing Efforts**
The SSSG emphasized that the central government continues to work actively to release all Georgian citizens illegally detained in occupied territories. This commitment reflects Georgia’s resolve to protect its citizens and hold the occupying power accountable for their actions.
**Responsibility of the Occupying Power**
The agency also noted that “the occupying power bears responsibility for all destructive actions carried out in the occupied regions of Georgia and along the occupation line.” This statement highlights the ongoing tensions between Georgia and Russia, with the latter’s actions seen as a major obstacle to peace and stability in the region.
