"Georgia has demanded from the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights that it push Russia to release the four detained Georgian teenagers, the Georgian Justice Ministry reported on Tuesday “We asked the Strasbourg Court to oblige Russia to immediately release the teenagers detained in de facto South Ossetia,” Deputy Justice Minister Tina Burjaliani said.
The move followed repeated calls by Tbilisi for the de facto authorities and the Russian occupiers to release the 4 underage citizens of Georgia detained on November 4 at the village of Tirdznisi, close to the administrative border with the de facto republic. The Council of Europe has also expressed concern over the “prolonged detention” of the detainees. “Nowhere in Europe should teenagers be detained as a result of political and security issues,” its statement issued on November 16 reads."
South Ossetia. Once a cesspool, always one, it seems.
