The action held by relatives and friends of Inal Djabiev continues in Tskhinvali, despite the frosty weather.

Policemen are monitoring the action held in the square on the round-the-clock basis.

Inal Djabiev's relatives have repeatedly stated that they are not going to end the action until the republic's Public Prosecutor General is dismissed.
