Georgia condemns installation of banner on the demarcation line with Tskhinvali

The Georgian State Security Service called the installation of warning signs on the Tskhinvali/South Ossetian side of the demarcation line destructive.
In May, “Power is in Unity” (political coalition in Georgia) activists staged protests on the administrative border with Tskhinvali/South Ossetia against the installation of warning signs and fences. The State Security Committee of the unrecognized republic warned that the activists are creating "prerequisites for the emergence of border incidents."
On July 3, 2020, the international human rights organization Amnesty International published a report "Behind the barbed wire. Human rights violations as a result of borderisation in Georgia”. Restrictions on crossing the line of demarcation with Abkhazia and South Ossetia violate the rights of residents of border villages who cannot manage their household and risk being detained, the report says.
Georgia and the international community consider Abkhazia and South Ossetia to be Russian-occupied territories after Russia intervened in the armed conflict between Georgia and South Ossetia on August 8, 2008 to subsequently recognize the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
