It is five of us from our family who left Tskhinvali. We don't know where to go, what to do…
We buried two bodies. We just got here yesterday morning. I have four children: three girls and one boy. They were still bombing when we left but our house was not burned yet. People were saying that the village must be evacuated. I do not know who said it first. We were in Gori already when they start bombing. My uncle was hit by the airplane bomb which ripped his leg off. We took him to Gori's Hospital but it was too late, he died there. Then we were carrying his body trying to get back to the village to properly bury him but they would not let us back so we had to bury him close by the road.
Kazaks are burning the village and torturing people. My father is still there. I don't know how he is going to be there.

Russians started bombing Gori at 8th of August 2008. I was at home with my husband and 2 chlildren , 9 and 11, in Kombinati settlement. It was very dangerus to stay there so we had to send childen to Ateni, to my in-laws. I stayed home as was waiting to my parents from Prone gorge, village Nuli. They arrived at 9 oclock in the evening. Througout this period the shells have been continously dropped in Gori and around. We spent the whole night awake at home with childen. Next day , around 10 or 11 AM it was decided to settle the refugees from Nuli, (where my mother is originally from) to the public School No 7, where our reservists were located as well. By that time the dorm behind the public school was blown out and residents including children were under the ruins. People in school including refugees and reservists have were damaged. The locals gave shelter to the reservists. They were hidden in to the basements of their houses, as their presence in the area was the main reason for bombing.
August the 10th . Russians bombed Gori tank unit. About 5 units were destroyed. There were a lot of dead and casualties both from civilians and our army. Under these sircumstances we had to leave Gori and came to Tbilisi the same day. I support the petition on crime to be sent to European Court of Human Rights.I undersign that the information I have provided is correct.

The reason of forcible displacement from my house was Russians impatient invasion and systematic bombing of Georgia, which was followed by ground forces, warships and airplanes, who were robbing local inhabitants, taking away everything we possessed. Afterwards they used to set a fire and burn everything. They totally destroyed by double-starred house, infatuated my car "Ford", forcibly took away my golden jewelry by beating, insulted and assaulted me morally and physically. When my neighbor, George, with Ossetian nationality tried to assist me, they riddled him right then.
The text is prompted by me and is totally true.
