Office of the State Minister for Reconciliation and Civic Equality: Government’s indifference claims another human life
The Office of the State Minister for Reconciliation and Civic Equality has published a statement, saying the indifferent attitude of the Government of Georgian has claimed another human life. We offer you the unchanged Facebook post published by the office:
“The indifferent attitude of the occupation regime claimed another human life. We express our condolences to the family of the deceased Onise Gatenashvili.
On November 14, with the involvement of the Red Cross, from the occupied Tskhinvali region, the so-called Onise Gatenashvili, a resident of occupied Akhalgori, who was transported to the clinic, was taken to the Ergneti crossing for treatment.
As soon as the Georgian central government received information about the preparation of a medical evacuation from the Red Cross, it immediately carried out the necessary evacuation procedures. It is noteworthy that the patient was in an extremely serious condition and died in the ambulance.
Occupied Akhalgori has been closed for more than a year. The abolition of so-called checkpoints has already claimed the lives of 16 people. The occupiers do not allow citizens to cross into Georgian-controlled territory, restricting their access to critical health services.
The Office of the State Minister for Reconciliation and Civic Equality, together with other relevant agencies in Georgia, continues to work to alleviate the plight of the population beyond the occupation line, to allow them to move freely, and to prevent them from receiving critical assistance. To this end, we call on international organizations and partners to step up pressure on the occupation regime.”
