I say with the full responsibility that aweful things happened in my village, right next to me. There were shootings from automatic rifles, as well as bombardments and shelling. The incident continued for several hours, days. The incident was carried out by war plane, tank and military personnel. They were talking in Russian. All this was happening while I was there – on 2-3th of August. Since the morning hours and during the entire day I was in my house. The Georgian army was stationed nearby, at some distance. There was an assault in my presentce, and there was an assault on myself as well. I have neither photo nor video material as an evidence, as I was unable to film it. I had injuries on my body. I could not see the doctor, because I was physically unable to reach one. Therefore I cured myself locally.
I support the idea of submitting a formal complaint to court; when we were refuged in Gori a bomb was dropped right in front of our eyes. The bomb blowed up the territory and broke the window glasses.
The facts that I describe are true and I hereby sign.
