The two inhabitants of Georgia, detained by the Russian peacemakers on Tuesday at a post near the settlement of Megvrekisi, are already released. The correspondent of the agency «Res» has been informed about it by the assistant of the commander of JPKF the lieutenant colonel Juriy Vereshchak.
The citizens of Georgia have been detained in the second half of the day on September, 11th at the check point «Мegvrekisi» of the peace-making forces, at which the Russian military men carry service.

In the address of the command of JPKF has arrived a letter from September, 11th, 2007 for № 4-9/595 from the co-chairman of the georgian part of JCC D.Mandzhavidze on occasion of ostensibly illegal arrest of the two citizens of Georgia at the check point of the Peacemaking Forces from the Russian Federation «Megvrekisi» with the requirement of «immediate release of the arrested persons, indemnification of the caused damage and the decision on the termination of functioning of the post of the Peacemaking Forces of the Russian Federation «Megvrekisi»». It would be desirable to note, that the detention of the two citizens of Georgia has been made for illegal actions concerning the military men of the Peacemaking Forces of the Russian Federation, carrying out their task at a peace-making post «Megvrekisi». We remind, that the check point of the Peacemaking Forces from the Russian Federation «Megvrekisi» is, first of all, a check point but not an observant post. In conformity with the article 4 of the Appendix №1 to the decision of JCC from December, 6th, 1994 (Protocol №7) «The military contingents and military observers have the right: - to check the citizens' documents proving the identity, on entry permit, departure permit, movement, and also to make examination of the persons, cargoes and vehicles; - to detain the citizens, breaking the established rules of the mode of state emergency with the subsequent transfer to the law enforcement bodies on the basis of the current legislation».
