The Council of the European commissioner on Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg will pay a working visit to South Ossetia.
"During the visit, CE Commissioner Thomas Hammarberg intends to obtain information concerning the circumstances of the capture of the seven missing South Ossetia’s citizens, as well as about their fate after the capture, obtained by the South Ossetian side," reports Interfax citing the South Ossetian President’s ombudsman David Sanakoyev.
Georgian authorities consider seven citizens of South Ossetia missing, despite the fact that the South Ossetian side has got a videotape recording showing the captured being beaten up by Georgian law enforcement branch employees.
It is believed in Tskhinvali that the citizens of South Ossetia, including one minor, have been captured by members of the Georgian law enforcement agencies during the hostilities in August 2008, as well as in the postwar period.
