The EU Monitoring Mission welcomes the release of 17 ‘jonjoli’ pickers who were detained for crossing the Administrative Boundary Line (ABL) in the Sachkhkere area in the course of last week.Upon each detention case, EUMM immediately activated the Hotline and stayed in frequent contact with all sides until today’s release of the 17 ‘jonjoli’ pickers.
The Mission expresses hope that maximum consideration will be shown towards ‘jonjoli’ pickers and that such detentions will be avoided in the future.
