The information that the monk Father Iona, the Georgian priest of the temple Sameba (Holy Trinity), was released as a result of activities of the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) in Abkhazia does not correspond to reality. This was stated by Laurens Kogoniya, the head of the Interior Division of the Gali District of Abkhazia, located near the border with Georgia.
