The security service of Abkhazia filed charges of spying against 24-year-old Georgian citizen Kristine Takalandze who lives in Nabakevi village, Gali district.

Takalandze was detained in her home during a special operation on July 20. She faces 10 to 15 years imprisonment under Article 274 of the Abkhaz criminal code on the grounds that she went against the “constitution” and the Abkhazian “state.”

In the video of her arrest, law enforcers can be seen rummaging through Takalandze’s personal belongings, to find 3 Georgian IDs, a pharmacy card, a Liberty bank card, a sim card, and a Georgian marriage certificate. They also found a letter from an individual asking an unidentified person to bring back medicine from Zugdidi and another partially burned letter.
