Berlin has recalled its ambassador to Georgia, Peter Fischer, for consultations. The decision, made by German Foreign Minister Johann Wadepoel, is intended to determine how to proceed, the ministry announced.

On November 3, in Sevastopol, 22-year-old Farkhad Soliev and his colleague, 33-year-old Server Aliyev, were taken to an unknown direction in a car belonging to the FSB. Since then, the relatives of the abducted people have not known anything about them. The Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Sevastopol, in response to a request from lawyer Edem Semedlyaev, stated that it did not have information about Soliev’s whereabouts.
Previously, human rights activists sent requests to the Federal Penitentiary Service, the military prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation, the prosecutor's office of Crimea, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB of Russia. There have still been no replies.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs refused to initiate a criminal case of kidnapping. There is no publicly available information about the cases initiated against Farhad Soliev and Server Aliyev. Lawyers plan to file a lawsuit against the inaction of law enforcement agencies.
