Investigation has five thousand proofs of Georgia's attack on South Ossetia

The group of the Investigatory Committee at the Prosecutor's Office (ICPO) of Russia has gathered almost five thousand material evidences of Georgia's attacks on South Ossetia, head of the ICPO Alexander Bastrykin told journalists today.

"These material evidences of Georgian aggression include documents, ammunition of the Georgian army, military uniform, equipment and other appliances marked by NATO, Germany, USA and other countries," Mr Bastrykin has emphasized.

As he said, inspectors have interrogated 15 Georgian captured militaries who evidenced that they had received the combat order "to invade the territory of South Ossetia and release it from strangers."

Alexander Bastrykin has also reported that the group of inspectors has conducted more than 400 different examinations, including forensic-judicial and documentary ones, the RIA "Novosti" reports.

"We have documents confirming that after aggression Georgian authorities were going to create a puppet government here. These documents were made in two languages - English and Georgian," the ICPO head has noted.

He has also reported that the group of inspectors has interrogated more than 4500 suffered residents of South Ossetia as eyewitnesses.

The group of military inspectors, as Mr Bastrykin said, is also finalizing investigation on the fact of an attack on the battalion of Russian peacekeepers in Tskhinvali.

"The data of preliminary investigation completely confirm the fact of an attack of Georgian peacekeepers and divisions of Georgian army on the Russian peacekeeping battalion in the capital of South Ossetia," he said.

"It is an international crime," Alexander Bastrykin has declared.

According to his story, Russian peacekeepers armed with fire-arms only for 1.5 days resisted the overpowering regular Georgian army, who had tenfold superiority.

"Russian military men withstood, none of them left the battlefield, they exhibited courage and heroism," said Bastrykin.

  • Compensation decrease for illegal prosecution violates rights of KBR resident

    The court ruling, which awarded Madin Gubzhokov compensation of 30,000 roubles for unlawful criminal prosecution, is incomparable with the moral harm caused by the actions of Azamat Kyaov, a former law enforcer. The amount is ridiculous and should be appealed against, lawyers and human rights defenders have stated.
