"As soon as we received information about Tamar Mearkishvili`s detention, we got actively involved in the process of her release," - Ketevan Tsikhelashvili, State Minister for Reconciliation and Civic Equality, stated regarding Tamar Merakishvili`s kidnapping by the occupation regime.

Representatives of the Prosecutor`s Office of the Occupational Regime detained a journalist living in Akhalgori yesterday.

"This is not the first time that such actions are directed against her. Of course, it is important for us that human rights are not violated in these territories and that is why our efforts are directed towards international human rights instruments., " - Ketevan Tsikhelashvili says.

Tamar Mearkishvili`s interrogation by the occupation regime is over and she is in her home in Akhalgori. Akhalgori police have interrogated her several times. The detainee`s house was searched for several hours by the occupation regime. Presumably, the South Ossetian militia was looking for extremist literature in her home.
