Concentration Camps in Russian occupied Georgia region of Tskhinvali


The following photographs were sent by the journalist (who I will not name due to his safety) who took the photo materials of the Concentration Camps (which they call detention camps) in Russian occupied Tskhinvali were so far hundreds of Georgian civilians are kept. He took these images with his cell phone camera and forwarded them to Human Rights Watch. There are striking similarities with Srebrenica tragedy. According to refugees and HR, men are taken away to forests after which point nobody knows of their whereabouts. Similar camps are set up in other towns in occupied "South Ossetia." Note, the musical concert is held by the Russian military near this camp. We are getting more images and evidences, which are submited to the War Crimes Trubunal in Hague which just recently accepted the case of ethnic-cleansing of Georgians and will start the hearing on September 3rd. Asked about his own earlier comments warning of a risk of ethnic cleansing by Russian forces in the territories, French Foreign Miniser Kouchner responded: "I hope that didn't happen overnight. But there has already been evidence that the armies are pushing away the Ossetians who favored Georgia, and in a certain way, yes, an ethnic cleansing is taking place." The families of the four Georgian minor, kidnaped by the Pro-Russian regime of “South-Ossetia” and the Russian occupiers for alleged crossing of so-called borders of “South Ossetia”, complain they are blackmailed. Russian invaders have reinforced terror at the illegal check-point in the village of Perevi, which is the Sachkhere district, Imereti Region. The Putins aggressors have begun detailed registration of people residing in the village and those, who travel to the village. The stop every vehicle and check up every passenger travelling to the village.The Russian invaders have twelve times increased the number of the occupiers at the checkpoint during the past few days. Execution, arbitrary detention, and ill-treatment of Georgian civilians Russian forces and South Ossetian warlords swept all houses into ethnic Georgian villages. Russian and Ossetian forces detained many of the remaining residents, most of whom were elderly and had stayed behind to protect their homes and property; younger family members had fled in the initial days of fighting. On subsequent days, Ossetian forces also detained people trying to flee looting and burning by Ossetian forces in the Gori district. Human Rights Watch has also documented how Ossetian forces looted and burned houses in Georgian villages (http://hrw.org/english/docs/2008/08/28/georgi19712.htm ).
