Occupiers released Georgian Zaza Gakheladze from illegal custody today.
On Jul 11, 2021, occupants wounded and abducted Georgian citizen Zaza Gakheladze in the vicinity of the Skhvilo Fortress after he allegedly disobeyed military men.
The so-called court of the occupied Tskhinvali region sentenced Zaza Gakhaladze to 12 years and six months behind bars.
