At the threshold of the visit of the US. President Barak Obama to Moscow, the mothers of the South Ossetian kept in Georgia addressed the US. President with a request to influence the Georgian authorities so that they release their children detained in Georgian prisons upon false charges.
“No matter where in the world human rights are violated, Barak Obama pays much attention to their observance. Mothers of the abducted persons do hope that even the Georgian authorities will listen to his opinion and the US. President will show his sympathy and will help with bringing the children back to their homes”, said David Sanakoev.
According to him, “13 South Ossetians are still in detention in Georgian prisons. Seven of them were declared missing by the Georgian authorities, though we have proofs, including video material, that these people are detained by the Georgian law enforcement bodies and that they are subjected to tortures. This was repeatedly voiced at the Geneva discussions”.
David Sanakoev stressed that about 20 more persons are in Georgian prisons illegally abducted before the August aggression. “Their mothers are now in Moscow. The relatives of detained South Ossetians in Georgia hope that their appeal to Obama will help in their children’ return home. The exact number of detainees is still unknown, since the Georgian side refuses to provide with data on abducted persons not only to South Ossetian authorities, but to the relatives of these missing persons as well”.
