Russian occupants and Special Forces along with pro-Russian separatists on the administrative border with breakaway regions of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali, continue kidnapping the citizens of Georgia for ransom, property seizure, intimidation and killing. And, if Georgian diplomats even tried<\/a> to use note protesting the kidnapping of people in past years, the public reaction to such incidents appears to be worse in the last few years.<\/p>\n

On May 19, 2016 a resonant incident<\/a> happened on the administrative border with Abkhazia related with a death of a Georgian citizen Giga Otkhozoria.<\/strong> The fact of murder was recorded by the surveillance camera; murderer was identified, but the Russian occupants and Abkhazian separatists did not detain the offender.<\/p>\n

Another recent murder of a Georgian citizen occurred on February 23, 2018 by the separatists of South Ossetia. On February 22, 2018 three citizens of Georgia were kidnapped in the Russia-controlled occupied Akhalgori region and taken to Tskhinvali detention center. Archil Tatunashvili<\/a>, a former Georgian military (born in 1983, originally from the village of Kanchaveti, Akhalgori region), was among the detainees. On February 23, it became known that Archil Tatunashvili had died; according to the statement made by Tskhinvali authorities<\/em>, he was killed as a result of an accident<\/em>. They stated that he rolled down the stairs in Tskhinvali detention center. But other sources report that Tatunashvili died as he was beaten and tortured. Russian occupants and separatists of Tskhinvali have launched a misinformation campaign trying to cover tracks: they claimed that Tatunashvili participated in the genocide committed against of Ossetian People<\/em> and called him a Georgian spy <\/em>delaying in transfer of his body. As of March 1, 2018 Tskhinvali authorities have not handed over Tatunashvili body to his family, most likely, fearing of results of forensic examination and public effect.<\/p>\n

Response of Georgian officials and international community to the facts of murder and kidnapping of local Georgian residents is not timely and effective. This creates a sense of impunity for Russian special services and Abkhazian and North Ossetian separatists supporting the Russian Federation. Occupants are continuing their illegal activities with creeping occupation towards<\/a> the Georgia-controlled territory. Russians are engaged in kidnapping intimidating Georgian citizens living along the line of demarcation, seizing houses, gardens and agricultural lands.<\/p>\n

Crimes against Georgians are controlled by Russian military servicemen (who are directly involved into them) serving in the 4th<\/sup> occupied Military Base of RF deployed in the Tskhinvali region of Georgia after the Russian invasion<\/a> in 2008, including in the so-called frontier post near the village of Kanchaveti.<\/p>\n

Impunity allows illegal activities to be further carried out by Russian aggressors and invaders.<\/p>\n

As a response to the above mentioned, Georgian initiative group Rusets Ra?!<\/em> gave the information about the officers and sergeants under the 4th<\/sup> occupied Military Base of RF to the international volunteer community InformNapalm<\/em>, which was obtained by them. The lists include personal information of 140 Russian military servicemen (personal photos, names and surnames, places of residence, positions and ranks, social network profile links). The noted information has been collected for years through OSINT and HUMINT activities, including social networks. Majority of military personnel from the noted list are middle and lower level officers, who serve in Tskhinvali Military Base. Some of them are promoted to higher positions or moved to other military units of RF SMD including the occupied Crimea too.<\/p>\n

\"Personal<\/a><\/p>\n

According to Georgian activists, there are obtained other materials too about hundreds of servicemen of the 4th<\/sup> and 7th<\/sup> occupied Military Bases stationed in the Tskhinvali region and Abkhazia, on border guards of the Russian FSB and representatives of other law enforcement agencies of RF being in the occupied regions of Georgia. Apart from that the information is structured about separatists having positions in the administrative and law enforcement agencies of the occupied authorities.
\nGeorgian activists mentioned that they plan to transfer the next obtained arrays to the international intelligence community InformNapalm<\/em> in response to every military offense of Russian invaders and Russian accomplices in Georgia.<\/p>\n
