An ethnic Georgian, Makhare Makhatadze has been released by the separatists after three-month captivity of the puppet regime. As the former hostage tells, he was first taken to the Sokhumi isolator, where he was tortured permanently. Afterwards, thanks to the support of his Abkhaz relatives, Makhatadze was taken to the Sokhumi asylum. During the period he was held in the isolator, the captive received grave traumas on his head. Makhare Makhatadze was arrested with the charges of crossing `Abkhazia`s borders illegally` three months ago. The family of the captive paid 2,500 dollar ransom to the separatists. The released hostage was taken to from the occupied region to the Georgian controlled area by passengers, who left him at the Georgian police checkpoint. Police informed the family of Makhatadze that he was freed.
