Gov’t of Georgia demands investigation of man’s death in occupied Tskhinvali

The 84th meeting of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism (IPRM) has been held in Ergneti, in a village in Georgia’s occupied Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) region.

Central government representatives demanded a transparent investigation into Georgian citizen David Basharuli’s case at the meeting, who in 2014 went missing in occupied Akhalgori and later was found dead.

The representatives of the central government of Georgia with other participants discussed the key incidents, registered from December 19 to January 24, along the occupation line, in neighbouring areas and in the region.

The central government also raised the issue of the illegal erection of border signs by occupants and other security issues.  

The next IPRM meeting will be held on February 27, 2018.
