**Georgian Citizen Released from Russian-Backed Abkhazia**
On March 30, Irakli Bebua, an ethnic Georgian man from the occupied Gali district, was released from prison. He had been held for four years and six months on charges related to burning a flag in protest against the commemoration of a holiday in occupied Abkhazia.
Bebua was arrested on September 30, 2020, by Russian-backed authorities in Abkhazia. He was sentenced to nine years in prison, which is longer than the maximum allowed sentence for such an offense. The court also found him guilty of other charges, including possession of ammunition.
Bebua’s imprisonment sparked protests in Tbilisi, with demonstrators demanding his release and accusing the Georgian government of doing nothing to help. International negotiations in Geneva also discussed Bebua’s case.
The State Security Service of Georgia said that both international and national efforts were used to secure Bebua’s release. The service also stated that it continues to work for the release of all Georgian citizens held in occupied territories.
